Yeah They Still Work 3: Cassette Tapes

This is the latest post in my Yeah They Still Work (YTSW) series, where I review my old tech that still works and brings me joy.  

Do you still have your cassette tapes? I grew up in a family of DJs so I was surrounded by vinyl records and cassette tapes. In fact, I didn't switch over to CDs until the late 90s. I still have a subset of my favorite tapes even though the majority of my music is now digital.
