For the past couple of months I've been working on clearing out a couple of boxes of old cassette tapes I've kept ever since I was at school. I've always loved music and listening to the Top 40 chart on the radio was my favourite way to spend entire Sunday afternoons. My own music collection was started with a few cassette tapes, my very own hi-fi (I was so proud!) and a little help from my Dad. I'd record all of my favourite songs from the radio so I could listen to them on my walkman to and from school :)
By going through my old cassette collection, I've found so many old favourites which I had completely forgotten about!
My lovely old hi-fi is long gone but my Dad lent me his new gadget so that I could capture the old music and store it on our computer. Clever, huh?
So this is the little legend, the Ion Tape Express (I think this is a newer version than my Dad's) which is a cassette to MP3 convertor. It is so easy to use and it has meant that my entire music collection is still in tact even after I've cleared away my boxes of cassettes ;)
Something else I found super useful - when I couldn't remember the track name or even the artist of some of the songs I'd recorded, I used SoundHound. This is an app which will find all the information from a snippet of any song you play. And I do mean ANY song as I had no problems finding all the info I needed! Sometimes, I had to play it a couple of times to get a hit, but it never let me down!
So my cassette tapes are sorted. Now the question is what can I do with them... :)
