Will Fly. Strange. I've not long finished copying my entire collection of cassettes to digital format. Despite the fact that there were several thousand involved, very few of them wouldn't play. None of them were brittle or like to break, but some did keep jammimg and there were several where the recording tape had become detached from the leader tape.

Btw. I keep all my analogue digital transfers on computer. That's a lot cheaper and easier than buying CDRs and a lot more reliable. Then, if I want to play them in the car or anywhere else, I download them to a memory stick and plug the stick into the car stereo. At any rate, that's how it will work shortly. I've recently changed my car and the CD player is like something out of Noah's ark.
