Wtf this is actually the coolest sht ive ever seen. Something about the mixing of modern streaming services and analogue tech, i love it

I literally just bought this exact boombox from a flea market for $5!

hey this was absolutely just a video i made for a college project, so sorry if it's kind of garbage/unclear lol - if you leave a comment i'll do my best to actually reply in a more timely manner from now on

Boy this brings back memories 😂 I used to make my own cassettes as a kid to go in my Walkman in the 90s. If streaming services were a thing back then and was as affordable as it is now I’d have a field day 😂

Incredibly helpful and incredibly awesome music choice

I'm making tapes for a cross country road trip because my car doesn't have bluetooth or cd player. So happy when I found your video! This helps sm thank you!

I think it's cool having cassette recordings of your playlists. If you're car only has a cassette player though, you can buy an aux to cassette adapter, one side plugs into your device/cd player and the other looks like a cassette. They were popular when cars started getting CD players but not all had them, you could connect your portable CD player to your car using the cassette deck.

The reason for C46 cassettes is because it perfectly fits the maximum length of a vinyl LP. C120 cassettes can be problematic, not because of the length, but because the tape is much thinner.

thanks for sharing!! really love the way you share the tutorial!

This is so cool and useful, but the fact that Jeff is the example makes it that much cooler. Thank you!!

Thank you this helped me I have been trying to get my own song on but I couldn’t thank you.

Thank you! i got a cassette player and was wondering how i would record the songs into a cassette tape, this was really helpful!

This is really helpful, I would've never known the times were split by either side

I would recommend getting a proper tape deck for a component stereo system if you want the BEST possible recordings. You don't necessarily need a Nakamichi Dragon, just some cheap tape deck from the 90s will do. (I reccomend a Sony TC-WE305)

Love this video and the comments. A modern spin on something my generation did all the time. This isn't a criticism of any of the contributors or their questions and I'm sorry if anyone takes it that way. To someone who grew up with cassette tapes as their main or major music format, they just highlight how quickly they have disappeared from the mainstream when people are genuinely asking questions about recording on both sides or how a C60 is only good for 30 mins.(yes, you need to turn it over unless you have auto-,reverse). Like how you are using a "retro" boombox, by the way. Anyone new to cassettes who bought a modern deck, I fear would be sorely disappointed with the sound quality. Even though yours would have been a fairly budget device at the time it was made, I'm almost certain it sounds better than modern ones that can cost hundreds.

Jeff Rosenstock rules. Respect!

Ive been saving up for a 1983 station wagon that I wanted to upgrade to an EV. I looked at some of them and they only took cassette tapes, but I want to keep that because I already have a bunch but didnt like the music, so thank you for showing me this!

YOUR MUSIC TASTE IS ELITE

This actually looks way easier than it is lol thanks so much!

Yes, I also need a mixtape cassete of Jeff Rosenstock and BTMI in my life.

very educational ^^ thank you

It worked! Thank you! I got a cassette tape from eBay and now with the right cable it worked 😊❤

thanks for this!

this was suuuper helpful thanks!

you a real one for this thank you 🙏🏼

Finally after looking for a week.

I don’t have a need to sets or anything yet but I am getting three blade cassette tapes a couple cases I cassette recorder and also player and an ox cord for Christmas saw this really helps😊

wow I think I'm going to go back to Cassettes, thank you 😎

cool video, I'm just getting into cassette tapes myself. As some people have mentioned, and maybe you're already aware, you can get cassette to 3.5mm aux cable adapters. They work basically as well as a native aux input and are pretty cheap.

This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for

Tysm, I needed this for my truck.

yeesss finally i can make my own mixtapes thank you so much

You’re awesome. Thank you!!

Jeff Rosenstock lets goooo

Hey there. (1) I totally agree with you on the C 120 blank cassettes. (2) If you have something like a C90 blank cassette you want to record on you have two separate albums you want to record on that tape it's always a good idea to record the longest album first. Make sure you use the same side of the tape you plan to record the longest album of the two first. After you record that album, play it back first. If it sounds good enough all the way, once the very last track ends, let it run a few seconds. After that, pull out any remaining blank recording tape & dispose of it.😀

It’s simple I see Jeff Rosenstock, I click!

I LOVE JEFF ROSENSTOCK

thanks so much this helped a lot

Ok I am doing this thank you for sharing this

Recording on a tape deck with dolby s and a metal tape while recording from hi fi digital songs from tidal or even downloaded one's is your best option if you want the best recorded audio quality

Jeff Rosenstock, your taste is immaculate

To be honest, this has been a thing since the introduction of CD back in the eighties. My Dad would make mixtapes from cds that he would get or borrow from friends on to his stereo system with the CD player having an output to go into the tape deck. And then there is an input for CD player that goes into the tape deck and can be synced to record and play on both machines. Years later when I was in high school, back when everyone had iPods and iTunes in the mid to late 2000s. I used my iPod and a aux cable with an RCA on one end and plugged that into my stereo which has the tape deck connected in both input and output for the source coming from the stereo, and I would record mixtapes or albums that I got of iTunes to play in the car or on the boombox that we had lying around in the garage. And to this day I still record stuff like that for the last 17 years. I even used my computer to record stuff off KZfaq or other stuff the same way. Plus if you have a stereo receiver from the late nineties, make sure that it has a input for DVD/ VHS or Laserdisc with RCA audio input or optical audio cable inputs as you can record audio off of those on to the cassette if you have live DVD concerts that are not on CD or streaming services.

Thanks for teaching me 🙏🙏🙏

I love your voice

I tried this same thing (around the time of upload too, oddly enough) with my phone and my Hello Kitty boombox I found at Goodwill. It didn't turn out that great, prob bc of either the equipment or some fault of my own, but seeing this video makes me want to try it again when I get back home. The thing that worries me is that I feel like I have no idea of the best way to arrange the tracks, but I want to try nonetheless. :)

HELL YEAH JEFF ROSENSTOCK

Thanks, I have a cassette deck in my truck, so this will help me.

Thank u man this helped a lot

i like and sub because i see Jeff rosenstock❤

I like for the tutorial and a like for Jeff. 👌🏽

Really helpful

helll yeahhh jeff rosenstock :))))

thank u sm !!

Thanks for this, it's been many years since I made a casette and my ten year old daughter wants a walkman for Christmas (thanks stranger things) haha

Hi all, does anyone what port does the AUX cable goes to from the iPad headphone jack to the boombox ?

Its fine if you want to make the cassettes and all. But you can also get a cassette to aux adapter and just connect your phone to your old car radio. I think some of those adaptors also have Bluetooth.

can i use a lightning to aux cable and plug it into my deck, and then record that way?

hey what are some of the best cassette players /recorders to get to make your own cassettes that arent like a million bucks

Nice video, however, you didn't explain the cord hookup from the tablet to the cassette deck or what is the name of the input slot on the tape deck. Thanks anyway.

I had an app on my 2001 iMac that would automatically generate playlists from an iTunes library playlist. You could set it to CD or cassette side durations. I wish I could remember the name.

i have an issue. in the middle of recording process, the cassette tape was slow down and stuck. I'm so glad if anyone can help this issue. I use the Toshiba Tape Recorder/Radio/CD player

The cable their connected by is just a 2 sided 3.5mm audio jack yeah?

Hey, so im having a problem: I got a 90min emptd cassette and i have like a USB cabel that with an adapter can connect to my phone. So now im wondering if i put zhe cassette in my walkman and connect the usb cabel to my phone and just start playing musik and pressing play on the walkman, will it start "recording" or am i doing something wrong

I love the idea, but if you really need an aux cord there are cassette adapters that go into the cassette player and have an aux cord going into it and it adds an aux cord and there are also bluetooth ones.

Hey, great video! thank you - could you also record this on a walkman or is it just on a boombox? :)

Would I be able to do this if I had a Windows 7 computer and also what kind of boom boxes could I use to record? I have a Sony boombox but I’m not sure if I can also make my own cassette tapes on it.

guys can anyone help me with the cord used on the ipad to put the music into the boombox please and thank you

Hey, I understand that having ng a physical tape is sick and all and I do want to do this but if you want an aux you can just buy a tape conversion thingy (technical term) with an aux attached to the “cassette”. So it works the exact same as an aux and is pretty cheap, most electronic stores sell them. I’m sorry I don’t know what they are actually called.

You just made this gen-xer smile. lol

Thank uuuu

Great vid! I was wondering if dont have a boombox or a record thingy. Can i just get a tape recorder or will that make the quality bad? Since I dont want to spend so much money on a huge cassette recorder only it to turn out horrible

i click this video beacuse: Reason 1: I FUCKING LOVE JEFF ROSENSTOCK Reason 2:

Hey soo I have a deck that has rca and a larger “PHONES” plug in it. Do you have any ideas of how I can do this so I can record? 😭

I used to time out my mix tapes so there wasn't to much blank space on either side,

Just what I needed. I should be able to record off of youtube, right? My concern is the quality. can you control the quality of sound out to your recording device? Thanks!

Please help! What volume should I play at while recording onto the cassette?

Hello! I’ve recently gotten into cassette tapes (collecting/recording) I was wondering if it mattered what music streaming service you use to record? I have an app I like to use called Musi, it is basically like KZfaq but it can play in the background, I like to use it because Spotify doesn’t have the remixes or covers of songs that I like. I was just wondering if that would affect how the audio on the tape would turn out. Sorry if this sounds dumb or is obvious.😅

Doese the aux cable go into the mic port and not in phones port??

Hello! My dad has a RCA 3 disc player and I'm planning on taking it, can i do the same thing on here with that?

Thanks

What plug did you use to plug in your iPad to your box

Can i do the same on a tape that i dont like that already has music on it

Do these type of recordings record from the sound or thru the aux 😅😅 like would it record ppl talking while the process is being done ?

Can u stop it and switch like audios? Because I wanna make a playlist but one of the songs is on KZfaq because it’s not official so can I stop it for a second and switch?

unfortunately this video basically is just information that I already know. however it is very helpful to others who would not know how to record playlist onto cassette tapes. they do make Bluetooth adapters for cars with cassette players it's a cassette tape with a Bluetooth module in it. but since your car has a cassette player you may as well just make use of it and it's a really nice thing because as we know old nostalgic formats are coming back there are lots of modern millennials that have the latest vehicles and they wish they had cassette players in them.

Do you think you can try and do a video on how to put songs onto a cassette. I got a cassette player from my great grandma and I mostly have blanks cassettes

C120 is fine if the deck is fine. The original concern was that the tape would be thinner and that would cause issues. Clean your deck and you'll be fine. C46 is great if you want to record vinyl records on tape. A standard 12" LP has about 22 mins per side.

Can you show how to do this with a CD whilst still using an iPad

does the quality vary depending on if you have a better cassette recorder or no?

is the sound volume on boombox impacts the volume on finished tape?

Good job. You can buy cassette tapes that have aux cables coming out of them, i had one for my own car that was also a billion years old. Hope you passed your exam or whatever

Could you use a cassette player with a record function and active the same thing?

There are Casey adapters which let you play your own music. If you have iPhone you might need lighting cable. These are great resolutions

Does it. Work fr

Hey what book box or player would you recommend for this

this is gonna sound really dumb but when ur record the music from ur device can u connect the like cord to your cassette player or would you need to use something like a boombox?

The recording deck needs to have an Aux input jack. Very important detail there. The songs are going from a tablet's headphone jack into the boombox's input. Also: People should always wait a solid 10 to 12 seconds after pressing Record, before starting the playlist of tunes. The "empty"/white tape that is at the beginning of every cassette takes that amount of time to play--- and then the brown tape starts after it, which is what picks up the actual audio being recorded. Wouldn't want the beginning moment of a song to not be included on the playlist cassette.

does the volume level affect the recording of the cassette?

can you also do this process with a walkman?

Im just a weirdo who likes cassettes and ive tried so many ways to record them and I cant believe it finally worked by using my phone an aux cord from a set of beats and a dongle cuz i have an iphone 😂
