This would be cooler if you could somehow convert the MP3s To a wave and store then on 90min magnetic cassette tapes and then you could play those.

- selfhoster11 4y agoThat would give you relatively little playtime. A standard 90 minute tape cannot hold all that much binary data.
- whiskeytuesday 4y agoMaybe you could come up with some kind of analog encoding of the original audio levels and store that on the tape instead.
- ada1981 4y agoYes this would be incredible. You get it.
- ada1981 4y agoAnalog.
- magic_hamster 4y agoNot sure why you'd want something like this. Imagine writing a book on paper, but instead of letters you're writing the binary representation of each letter. Wouldn't it be easier and more efficient to just use the paper as intended? Just use good metal tapes, you'd be surprised with the quality (read: hard pressed to notice it's a tape). Plus, whatever circuitry you're using gives analog sound an extra bit of personality (though this isn't always for the best).
- schwartzworld 4y ago> Just use good metal tapes Nobody manufactures type 2 tapes anymore. You basically have to find dead stock.
- ada1981 4y agoTwas a joke. Basically saying I want a cassette tape.

They receive a mp3 (or other format) and output sound through the magnetic stripe (and also to headphones if you don't put it in a walkman)
