Good brief video overview (albeit, from Instagram) about physical media, its recent resurgence, its importance, and how people are taking the power back from streaming services. 
Another of those rare Canadian #cassettes of Bowie's Low is up on FleaBay where the cassette label has the original album title of New Music:Night and Day where the Canada plant had jumped the gun b4 last min title change. Looks genuine & as such has already reached 80 quid plus. #DavidBowie #Bowie
While we were going through the Quad Cities area a few days ago, I wanted to stop at the Co-Op Records in Moline. When I went there before the owner gave me the Miracle Legion cassette I was grabbing for free because it was genuinely excited to see a (relatively) younger fan of the band.
Grabbed these three cassettes and a CD of Lissie’s “why you runnin’” e.p. (She’s from quad cities and I haven’t owned a physical copy of it before).
Funny thing is that I went in actually really hoping to find a copy of the Best of the Doobies on cassette because it’s a great driving release. Not entirely sure why Warner flipped the A side and B Side for the cassette versus vinyl release (which the CD and digital versions are also based on).
The Hendrix cassette is hella rad. The track listing is super legit. Absolutely stacked. it’s also the first cassette that I’ve ever come across that has a stapled together booklet (like a CD) as a part of the J Card.
The Jaco one I almost missed because it was displayed up above the rest of the cassettes with a few others. I actually had to have the thankfully tall manager cashier dude grab it for me.
My nephew Eric is the proprietor of Geology Records, a Wisconsin label that releases one or two cassettes a year in small runs of 50 to 100 tapes. As Eric says, music is a “healing force”.

Magnetic tape recordings used in videotapes and cassette tapes, which were popular up to the 2000s, are at risk of being lost as the tapes deteriorate and replay equipment are no longer produced. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/03/japan/society/magnetic-tapes-2025-problem/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #digitalization #museums #yokkaichi #mie #cassettes
Perhaps Mastodon can suggest stuff for me about #audio #archiving.
On a technological level I know what I'm doing (codecs, cables, tape mechanisms, etc.) but I'm struggling with making decisions.
I have a load of old type 1 #cassettes that I want to archive. I have the hardware to do it in high quality but I cannot make up my mind what to archive them as.
FLAC seems pointless given the quality of the source material but I cannot decide what is a sensible compromise between storage and faff!
R.E.M.
Dead Letter Office
1987 Canada cassette
Chromium Dioxide, silver text
You’d be hard pressed to find a bigger fan of the I.R.S. R.E.M. records than yours truly.
Dead Letter Office has eluded me on vinyl, so when i saw this cassette version today, I jumped on it.
Filled with a slew of covers (including THREE Lou Reed penned songs), I love it for the b-sides from the singles released between Murmur and Life’s Rich Pageant.

Chère.e.s 13 abonné.e.s de Mastodon ♡
Aujourd'hui on a sortie une nouvelle cassette.
Pas si nouvelle que ça nous en convenons, car c'est tout simplement la compilation de nos deux premiers albums : Komplot (2022) et Proto Lazer Music (2023).
Nous sommes actuellement en plein enregistrement du 3e album :)
Vous pouvez donc trouver cette nouvelle cassette "Maxi Big Bucket" ( 5 couleurs possibles !) sur le bandcamp de Dushtu Records :

Is #PhysicalMedia more your thing?
#AnalogRevolution and many of the same artists got you.

Doesn't matter if you're a tape head, a vinyl nerd or still rocking the CD player.
Anyone have any experience with #CassetteDuplicators?
Not duplication services, but actual duplicator machines.
I’m interested in a unit that has a digital source and can make multiple cassette copies at once, as opposed to copying an existing cassette.
I’m not looking for massive scale but a 6x unit at minimum.
When I search online for them I only ever find old 1Xcassette to multipleXcassette duplicators, or duplication services.
