Do you still use Casette Tapes?

So, after seeing there are many Casette Tapes in China (of Ayumi), I wanted to know if anyone on this forum still listens to their casette tapes.

-----

I still use them. There are a lot of songs that we've recorded on tapes from the radio, and they still work fine.
Our old car didn't even have a CD Player (The new one does), so you could only use tapes.
I like them, they're pretty cool and I don't mind having them

I have tapes with some rare stuff on them of one group, or they're hard to get on CD. I have a couple of concert tapes that I love, though I haven't really listened to them for a while because the batteries are gone in the remote and I'm too lazy to replace them I do listen to them occasionally, though.

I have some mixed tapes of some radio hits/favorite CD tracks from awhile ago..these are of sentimental/historical value to me since they show what kind of music I listened to back-in-the-day.

Japanese class always required us to record ourselves on cassettes, or do interviews on them, but with these cassette players that I'm sure were older than I am and were pretty funny to operate. That's the only time I've used cassettes since... junior high? We dont own a player any more

We used to have to use cassette recorders in Spanish.

I have some songs recorded from the radio onto tapes, so I sometimes still listen to them.

^ahaha. Try a second-hand shop.

My stereo has two tape decks in it, but I don't use them often.
I have a couple old Elton John and Colm Wilkinson tapes that I play once in a blue moon.

Nope. Not at all.

I way prefer even a CD single over a cassette tape. I dread getting a car without a CD player.

He probably wishes for the good ol' days.

Just watch, we're going to be just like him when we're at that age--CDs just might become obsolete as we grow older.

CASETTE TAPES ARE STILL ALIVE!!!!
I used to use those mostly.. I've converted by main use to CD, though...
And for Video Cassette tapes, I still use frequently.
Hmm... It's ashame you can't rip music from cassette. I have an ancient No Doubt tape that I love.. I just don't really have a good tape player... D:

If the Media was smart, they still wouldv'e continued to use casettes...
You can't rip that stuff and put it on the internet!

I use video cassettes too, because we still use a video recorder - a DVD-recorder is more than we can afford. Plus, I still record personal videos from my video camera onto tape, and I have videos that I bought in America of things that aren't released here, so I still watch those and my old tapes. I have a lot of old videos, I really have too many...
