I am always a bit behind, and have hundreds of audio tapes.
I have had a good sort out today and have them in a bag ready to tip into my bin, but do you have any better suggestions?

I still have some and sometimes play them - when they were going out of favour I bought a CD/radio with a tape player in as I didn't want to have to buy CD's when I already had a playable tape... I don't know if any record shops that sell records would be interested in tapes?

I will save mine for you Liz

I remember when the tapes use to break mostly in the middle of your favourite track, it is so much easier these days downloading mp3's or ripping a CD.

try selling them on e bay
If not, do donate to a charity shop
somebody will be glad of them.

I still have mine & play them as I have a player. I used tape to knit with when I was doing textiles at college. If no-one will take them , they can be recycled as hard plastic at the recycling centre

I have to add, that I only use it for playing my homemade Navy Lark tapes so the machine lasts as long as possible, as I haven't found any for sale of late ...

I remember the days well of taping the top 40! Trying to hit the pause button before the djs voice came in! Thenllistening to it on my Walkman,!

oh yes, and before these tapes, I used to record the top 10 on a huge tape recorder with 2 spools, I still have it up in the loft.

I had one of those Wendy when I was a teenager

Still got one of those as well, at least my brother has it now, but the tape got very brittle ..
