Music on cassette
 

So, I want to get my girlfriend a mixtape for her birthday, cos mixtapes are just awesome. Problem is, mixtapes are only awesome when they're on cassette. You ´know, the little audio cassettes. So, I have the mixtape on my computer as all mp3s. Now how do I get them onto a little audio cassette? I will love anyone who answers my plea.

Plug a jack lead into the headphone socket of your computer & record it manually with a cassette recorder.

Alternatively, buy a USB cassette recorder. They are reletively cheap and the sound quality is fair.

I don't understand the logic here. Everything that makes a cassette mix superior to a mix CD is in the making of the mix itself. The editing, the rifling through the music collection to find just the right song, splicing in the random interludes from obscure sources. I don't get, beyond crafting the mix itself, why it's necessary to go out of your way to transfer digital music to cassette and degrade the sound quality if all your gonna do is record a digital playlist of songs files that you've already put together.

Probably because it feels more genuine.

Some chicks are into that.

And more difficult to listen to...
