one of my friends gave me one of these bad boys for my birthday and it is perhaps one of the best gifts I’ve received. they knew my struggle with wanting to listen to music on my morning walks while resisting the urge to use my phone first thing. they burned a few of my playlists and theirs onto tapes and it feels so much more nostalgic, personal, and conversational. listening to a tape all the way through without skipping is a lost treasure trove for mindfulness imo. pretty affordable and easy to rig burning cassettes or buying from the thrift :)

spent too long price hunting on ebay for the players and still probably ended up overpaying. but the one on the right is a WM-EX1 and i think it looks rad and it actually sounds quite clear and rich with a good pair of headphones!!
i have been slowly gathering tapes, so far Pet Shop Boys from a local record/thrift store and Jeff Rosenstock from the tour merch counter
