If they had voices, they'd be screaming out for your support. If they had joints, they'd be arthritic. If they were made of flesh and bone, they would be cadavers. And if they had birthdays, the number of candles needed could set a fire hazard.
"They" are the occupants of that box of audio cassette tapes that are aging ungracefully in a gloomy (and hopefully moisture-free) attic. The music on them misses you as much as you miss them. Even if you had a cassette player in proper working order, the combination of neglect and overuse might make the next time you play their the last time. But of course, throwing them away is not an option -- too many valuable reminders of your past, and too many songs that you can't buy anymore.
So what are your other options? There are recording studios that will take your audio cassettes into the modern age by converting them into MP3 files. But when you calculate the expense (not including packing and mailing) against replacing the songs on your audio cassettes with CDs (not including the ones that are irreplaceable), it isn't a cost-efficient answer even if you could afford the cost.
Fortunately, technological breakthroughs have once again come to the rescue: As with pocket calculators, mobile phones and portable cassette players themselves, the software and hardware required to take an audio cassette to CD or MP3 are no longer the exclusive property of professional audio engineers.
Now there are audio cassette converters that can copy your cassette recordings and save them as MP3 files, which you can listen to on smart phones and MP3 players or convert to files that can be burned to CDs. Some are no bigger than portable cassette players, and most are very modestly priced -- at least, in comparison to the price of buying a digital copy of every song you have in that box of audio cassettes!
