Ii could never do that because of my bad eyesight. that looks like it would take perfect 20/20 vision to do that. do you wear glasses?
I also wonder about double length cassettes, blank cassettes almost never go over 90 minutes (45 min on each side) Is that because if there is too much tape in the cassetts it will drag because of the weight? i remember i used to have a "2 albums on 1 cassette" tape, and it would drag. Could that be the reason, just too much tape?
I have old cassettes like back to 8 or 9 years, that we recorded on them , but unfortunately now i found them , and tryin to listen to them , but now some are either have no sound no more ( and I wanna know what is the reason of this ? ) and some others have very very very low sound and speaking too fast u know like worms , if you know this problem i'd be glad if you help
@oOoKhaledoOo It sounds like the tape may be wound up too tightly, or there may be an issue with your tape deck itself. That's usually the issue with playback speed issues. As far as low sound level goes, my suggestion would be to record using an app like Audacity (free), and use the 'Normalize' function. This will make the recording as loud as possible without going over the max threshold. Then a noise reduction algorithm can be applied to get rid of the hiss.

UPDATE: One mistake in the video... the tape should go around the rollers AND the plastic standoffs, not between them.
