We had 12 songs total on a cassette and they were usually all from the same artist. We’d listen to the first 6 and then we had to flip over to hear the next 6 songs. Fast forward and rewind took more than a split second and you hardly ever got it right. There was no repeat either. Plus if you listened to the tape too much, it killed itself.
