Cassette tapes are nostalgic, but to preserve precious memories you have to acclimatise. Here's the reason why you should transfer cassette tapes to CD?
Most companies have stopped the production of cassette players due to the lack of demand. The most obvious example would be your car. As of 2011 most car companies have given up installing cassette players and replaced them with CD players. To keep listening to your favourite track while on the road convert your cassette to CD now.
If you are familiar with cassettes, then you will remember that you have to rewind the tape before playing it again. This action causes deterioration as it places the tape under strain which may break the magnetic tape inside. Every time you rewind and listen, the lifespan of your tape decreases. Even if kept untouched, it will still deteriorate within ten years.
If you want to preserve your audio against time, then convert your cassettes to CD for extended audio longevity.
Imagine you have a record of your favourite band’s greatest hits or a funny recording from your childhood. With cassettes, sharing these memories with your friends and family can be a pain. You would have to give them your tape and arrange a cassette player so that they could listen.
But with CDs, all these hassles can be easily avoided.
Copying from a cassette to another cassette can be an annoyance. You would have to put your existing and new tapes into a player; then copy them one single disk at a time. It is both a time-consuming and challenging task.
But, with conversion to CD, you are no longer restricted when copying. Just select a file and paste it into your computer, then you’re free to make as many copies as you want.
