I became aware of the latest RS podcast on Thursday 5/16/2024. Had I known that they were going to do so, I would have FWR'ed them our posts and comments on cassettes. Enjoy.

Hey All,

I just found a MINI cassette recorder with two tapes buried in a box.

I am sure it won’t be super hi fidelity, but I wanted a standalone audio source
( rather than my phone) to maybe fool around with.

I thought mini cassettes were so cool when they came out. But as the rather droll joke states: 1983 called and wants its mini back.

Slightly off topic:
How about Sony mini discs?  I have a few player/recorders and a bunch of old MW, SW broadcast and pirate recordings and a bunch of blank discs too.  They did a great job of recording exactly what I heard with no degradation 15 plus years later.  Cutting edge at the time.  I don’t recall if the files are .wav or what - I don’t think they’re mp3s.  I liked them because in “long recording” mode I could record on a frequency (typically MW after this old man’s bedtime) for I think 6 hours then check it the next day to see if I “caught” anything.
I still use them ever so often and I don’t use an sdr - get ready for it but I still turn knobs on the R8, Watkins Johnson, TT 340 and/or JRC 545.  And I use a Universal M-8000 for WeFax, sitor, etc.  Old I know.  And feeling it lately- hah!
