Needs a higher temp. Don't use a convection or you will broil the plastic cassette. It will re-bond to the tape. Yes, there is lots of good cassette tape everywhere. Yes it lasts for a good 10-25 yrs. Even more. Why do I feel like I'm in George Harrysong's 'man cave' with this music?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:08pm

the 8-track tapes need to be tuned-up. it should be expected that the glue that holds the tape together (& signals the program change) would fail after 4 decades. and the foam pads rot. it's all available and easy to replace. then the player might need a tracking adjustment (a srew on the bottom, usually) and a cleaning.
they sound pretty good.

I wasn't overly concerned about quality but I think I did use decent VHS tapes

tapes i had to remake for playing to death: the cure (faith on one side,17 seconds on the other); Eno (another green world) with beatles for sale on the other side; the indestructible sounds of soweto with graceland on the other side...i don't think any of those were tdks.

is the fm signal sound quality of WFMU better than the AAC stream?

Yes, VHS if done right gives you a ton of audio space. I had friends who took that to Cuba and other places, 20 yrs or more ago.

yeah I am not sure that digital is or was better than analogue. convos like this make me wish I didn't toss old technology once someone deemed it obsolete. Now you can just record on a 512gb flash drive. But it isn't more fun.

@Daniel That whole time in my life is so emotionally fraught that I've never listened to those tapes since I made them, but they potentially work with a theme I'm considering for this new project. So I'm going to be brave and listen next weekend I think.

Did I tell you I met Dave the Spazz's father once? I think it was at Powell's in Portland. One can meet important people by wearing an FMU t-shirt.

A- I would say that the compressed AAC stream is better than the analogue FM, which is also compressed as well. But in most places, the AAC 'FMU stream sounds brilliant. Actually I never listened to WFMU on a car radio. That would be a rush.

Anthony you can get a cd burner that burns in "real" time. you can fade songs out or stop them at any point, adjust levels accordingly -etc. ...just like we used to do with cassettes.

Wow, this is intense message board. But I'm in Fla now and the streams sound awesome. I had a stream break about 30 min ago. Doesn't happen often. Could be the local carrier.

Well, most VHS decks that can record in stereo are considered “Hi-Fi” even if they don’t explicitly say so. The timer functionality is a big deal as well. No real consumer tape decks that could record on a timer… And VHS could store a lot of audio on one VHS cassette.

many of the cassette decks i've owned could be used with a timer (to record or play) but at the very most for 3 hours of record time. (dual, automatic flip, consecutive play)
