You know what is cool, is those old big plastic cassette holders that would hold 2-4 or more tapes, often times they were used for audio books, and you would always see them at libraries.

[@OtherRecordLabels]

So great. Lol.

[@louisebuckley9781]

Thanks Scott, great video. Another option for avoiding unequal sides A and B - at my record label we record the whole release on both sides. It means no dead space on either side and also listeners don't have to flip the tape halfway through!

[@OtherRecordLabels]

Thanks Louise! I 100% agree with this! And I should've mentioned it in the video. You are so right, and I actually really like when labels do this. Having said that, you do lose the "art" of having a song that kicks off Side B, and a song that closes off Side A. One of the things I loved about vinyl and tapes...

[@s4ds4d]

Thank you for these vids it feels like every time I have a question you happen make one on that topic 🙏

[@OtherRecordLabels]

Haha amazing. That’s great. Thanks for watching! - Scott

¡¡¡VAYA CHAPA!!!!

[@nocuh]

The double stack cassette packaging is interesting and new to me; I only have experience with double wide tape releases which do fit on racks without dividers (almost none of them), and Case Logic just flat out says “nope”

[@OtherRecordLabels]

Yah it’s crazy cool! Not sure the cost though.

[@JohnnyJohnHub]

Pls put some information what deck to buy.

[@OtherRecordLabels]

Great idea! Unfortunately, not my area of expertise! Just go for one that you can find at a thrift store that works! Make sure you test it!

[@raynefaded]

Heard you mention being Canadian.... where are you? Trying to find good resources close to Montreal - especially manufacturing vinyl and cassettes. Looking to set up a label too!

[@OtherRecordLabels]

Yah just west of Toronto. Try duplication.ca they are mostly based out of MTL and do both cassettes and vinyl.

[@raynefaded]

@@OtherRecordLabels Good to know! Would love to hear about limitations/difficulties facing Canadian labels vs US. Was considering trying to do some international pressings.

[@derekeverett371]

Do the labels still accept tapes ?

[@wardogdauwdd3020]

I want to do a cassette but instead of music I want to do s podcast cassette collection

[@OtherRecordLabels]

Interesting idea!

[@wardogdauwdd3020]

@@OtherRecordLabels and like each side of the tape is a episode or each tape is a episode

[@officialWWM]

Do people still have cassette players? 🤔

[@OtherRecordLabels]

Not only that, but they’re hard to come by and priced pretty high if you find one! Hopefully some new modern Walkman’s are in the works! Thanks for watching! - scott

[@officialWWM]

OtherRecordLabels maybe I should get some made. But I haven't even seen a cassette player in years 🤔

[@lilporra76]

Bro artists don't even make CDs anymore so why would we make cassetes

[@OtherRecordLabels]

Haha, you might want to double check that…. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! - scott
