Any use for old Cassette tapes and VHS tapes?
 
I have boxes of old tapes. I hate to just throw them away.

The VHS are home recorded movies and tv shows.

The cassette tapes are mainly preaching but a few are music.

Can they be recycled?

Will I need to buy a larger trash can? :girlytantrum

Same situation here. I have a bunch of the older Christian music on cassette as well as some preaching tapes. Cant hardly bear to let them go but never have time to listen.

There is fairly inexpensive (in some cases free open source) software that will let you transfer them to your computer where you can clean the sound up and then burn them to cd. Audacity is what I use. Fairly user friendly but packed with editing options.

Over time both VHS and audio cassettes decay. Particularly if they have not been stored in a climate controlled area. If you have any with content that is precious to you I would suggest you digitize them by burning the video to DVD's or a media file and the cassettes to CD's or media files.

Does anybody still use cassettes, 8 tracks or CD's?

I was kidding about the CD's.

Just last week I actually listened to some worship music on a cassette in our van and a couple days ago listened to a couple music CD's in our truck.
