4: Do you own a cassette tape player? I bought a new one recently, I have a few cassette that I wanted access to.

Please share your answers in the comments.

  1. 1. Records sold, given away and thrown out, Sansui turntable sold for a nice sum.
    2. No and never did.
    3. No, but I remember some people had them in their cars.
    4. Yes, our cd player/radio/cassette player still sits on a shelf under our tv. I recently checked and the cassette player still works. The cd sits vertically when in the unit and there is a pretty blue lighting, popular at the time...and still to be seen in newer machines.
    5. Maybe forty. It is years since any have been played.

    1. I loaded all of my CDs onto PCs over the years, and lost the files in hard drive crashes and software changes, I am glad I kept the CDs.
