Are audio cassettes obsolete - can't seem to find them anywhere. Not yet into the new technology!?

Question

I'm still using my Walkman too! - have many a long walk with Mozart or Frank Sinatra - great!

Answer 1

no they` re not, you should still be able to get them

Answer 2

They are on their way to becoming obselete, especially with the introduction of MP3 players.

There is nothing wrong with cassettes, in that they are easier to handle than CD's. But there is an amount of hiss, which once you try digital formats, will be unacceptable.

As for not being in to new technology, you seem able to work your PC fairly well.

You can get an MP3 player for about £20 these days. Give it a go, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Answer 3

Yes. Time to change!! Mozart and Sinatra are available on CD and MP3 too!!!

Answer 4

Not that I'm aware of. You can get a pack of 4 blank ones in the pound shop! Check out Charity shops for real ones though, they have all sorts in the ones around here.

Answer 5
