I stopped using tapes in 2004. The last bastion of the cassette tape was my old car, which didn't have a CD player. At home I stopped buying tapes in the early/mid 90's when I got my first CD player. |

I got 4/10 but on two occasions, pressing what was the right answer didn't work so I pressed another answer to see if there was an issue. Almost complete guesses though. Cassette tapes for me meant ZX Spectrum games and not music until I hit my teens, whereupon I used to record music off the radio to create my own playlist. |

5/10 and I was undecided on two of them. Tough quiz though. ![]() |

Same here. I must have used 7 or 8 of those brands. Yet could not recognise all the brands. |

I managed 4 out of ten, even though I should have recognised the brand logos on some. My excuse is I used TDK almost exclusively throughout my cassette recording/playing usage. In fact, I believe I have five unopened D90s kicking around somewhere. ![]() ![]() |

+1. When I did use my own cassette tapes, I always bought TDK D90. |

I used to record bits of the top 40, back when dance music, Meat Loaf, The Bee Gees, Cher and rap were all in the same chart ![]() Got my first CD in '95, still have some cassettes though and the ability to play them ![]() |

6 out of 10 I still have a pack of five sealed TDK C90 tapes. |
