I broke a cassette player but still unable to save the cassette. Yes. I am still using one. In the modern age of CD and even digital audio, I still have my heap of cassettes. They have been through my growing years. Some of the songs in it I would say are golden that even radio doesn't even play them. I play the cassette mainly to transfer the sound to computer for storage. Just my luck the player or maybe the cassette just got crappy at the moment and they got tangled. I spent over an hour trying to untangle them, before taking out the roller and lastly the cassette tape broke.... So I broke the player and also lost the tape.
