I agree I have successfully repaired many a cassette in my time in various ways and being that I had over 1700 of them at one time ( I used to number my tapes) and it was because of those repair jobs that I still had all my old mix tapes and other important archived audio available for the inevitable transfer to digital and many of those old tapes were ready to be tossed out after the transfers and subsequent backup copies and everything was preserved and is still usable
Years ago, I transferred a handful of cassettes to digital, and it took so long (particularly splitting the large files into individual tracks) that I gave up. Now I've got a little more spare time, so I decided to give this project another shot - only to discover that none of my cassette players work anymore. The belts in all of them are shot.I agree I have successfully repaired many a cassette in my time in various ways and being that I had over 1700 of them at one time ( I used to number my tapes) and it was because of those repair jobs that I still had all my old mix tapes and other important archived audio available for the inevitable transfer to digital and many of those old tapes were ready to be tossed out after the transfers and subsequent backup copies and everything was preserved and is still usable
