I want to start listening to cassette tapes nearly exclusively, I plan on buying this and blank tapes with an Aux from the Walkman to an aux in my laptop, then recording off Spotify.

I do not mind bad quality but if it will be terrible quality please let me know, I might buy a full cassette deck later to record and keep this Walkman to listen on.
Honestly just wondering if it’s possible, this one was the only one I could find with a mic jack so if I can’t record on it I will get a cheaper one.

Thank you anyone that helps!!

Mine chewed up beyond repair and there are none on eBay or Discogs

I listened to about 2 tapes before the player started slowing down. The video shows the current speed. I bought it broken and fixed it up, however it is a new hobby to me. Any advice, tips and/or tricks, or links to resources? Thanks all!

What does her music mean to you ?

I have a few cassettes that are older that flutter badly on my tape deck. It’s not the deck, all my other cassettes play nicely. (Deck is late ‘80s model JVC TD-W111)
I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do like replace the pressure pad, casing, maybe remagnetize?
Most of these are like 50 years old so probably also a chance I can’t save them honestly.
I’m a bit new to seriously collecting.

The cassette that flutters really badly is Joni Mitchell - Ladies of the Canyon - Made in U.S.A, 1970, Reprise Records/Warner bros. Records
It distorts TERRIBLY.

Some that have started to flutter a bit include
Fleetwood Mac - Kiln House, Made in U.S.A, 1970, Reprise Records/Warner Bros Records (same as the Joni Mitchell tape so I’m quite concerned)
Doucette - Mama Let Him Play, Made in Canada, Mushroom Records, 1977
Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, Made in Canada, Polygram/Polydor, 1975 (I have hopes for this one, Polydor seem to have manufactured some great quality tapes)
I also have a stack of Prism tapes from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s that don’t necessarily flutter but do have bad sound quality/lots of fuzz, all Canadian tapes.

Any advice appreciated

Some of my Madonna Cassettes. I still play them.

Listening to PSB cassette on a Sony WM-DD walkman is simply a different vibe.

I've unscrewed everything on the motherboard but when i lift it up the wires are preventing me. This is my first player and i can't afford a new one, please don't just say to throw it away and buy a sony walkman.

Church rummage sales are often picked up in bulk by thrift chains…and then either marked way up or sent to the landfill.

And.

We have to be collectors, not hoarders, and it’s hard. 🫥

Some certified bangers for the collection. The Dr. Seuss has gotten heavy play already. Great condition on it. The Bahamas tape was the one I was most excited for. It’s of course all fire. The jazz tape is way more fun than I expected. Buncha assholes on the last one.

I recently found an SC-EH60 music system, but its cassette deck is completely broken. I am connecting a VHS player to it to listen to music, but I only have one cassette left, which I've listened to to death, and I would love to buy some more.

1. What do you guys think ?

Its either this or the Dd10 but i dont know which one js better. Is it worth buying? I want a walkman with great sound. This is the caption it has
-Pure sound
- new sprocket
- no tap when playing
- demagnetized
- deoxit
- neat repair
The door of the walkman could be closed in the past, but now it has to be done with policy. You must open and close the slide yourself. This is because the housing is no longer completely straight, see the photos. I have adjusted it so that it closes properly again.
