^yeah same here.

and by "any genre" does that go outside the realm of EDM? and...I'm curious as to what you plan to do with them.

I'll propose $20-$30 for a shoe box full depending on what I got I suppose?

The physical quality of the tapes isn't big deal. They don't have to be original tapes.. recordings are fine. Content-wise, I'd pay more for:

- Classical (classic or comtemporary)
- Jazz/fusion jazz
- 70's rock
- latin american (flamenco, salsa)
- soul/funk/blues
- early electronica

I plan on extracting all the tape so that I can connect them end-to-end in hopes of making it long enough to reach around the circumference of the Earth.

hehe, what I really want them for is sampling. I've recently realized the greatness of sampling and would much rather sample from old cassettes than sample cd's/soulseek/etc.

I don't really care if the audio quality is shit, in fact quality degradation is desired.

wouldn't you be better off hitting up garage sales and buying bucketloads of old vinyl for cheap prices?
