Just wondering about this.... when did music companies stop making cassettes of new music releases?

My car has a cassette player, as I'm sure lots of cars have, and I want to be able to buy a new dance mix album for my car instead of having to sit in front of the cd player for 2 hours, taping stuff onto a blank cassette.
I did this when I was 15 and used to sit taping the charts on a Sunday night!

Looked on the well known internet auction site, but can't find anything decent......any ideas?:confused:

You can get a cd / tape converter thing. its a tape that you stick in your car stereo (like any other) with a cable that plugs into the headphone socket of a portable cd player or MP3 player or any other similar device. It basically lets you use your cassette player with any source. They are only about 5quid.
I think maplins sell them.

Fit a cd player? :)

Chrysalis did Escapology on tape in 02, nothing since then. Guess its back to the good old days of home taping for you matey.

I've got one of these which I used with my MP3 player, but the sound was really tinny.....and I don't have a portable CD player anymore.......suppose I could buy a cheapo one off e-bay....

think it was about a 3 or 4 years ago since the production of music cassettes stopped.--so really there'd only be the old stuff available on market stalls etc.
