I know right! If only they existed. If only I could automated making podcasts or audiobooks to tape. Upload a link or audio, get mailed some cassettes.
I would love the novelty of that. I'd pay for that subscription! Then I would just need to take a Walkman with me when I travel. I try not to take a smartphone with me on walks and such, and even then it's pretty locked down.
I'm noodling the idea for sure. If Podcaster could keep to 60 minutes that would help 🤣 Maybe it's an AI voice to text to voice recap. 🤷♂️ But yeah this is what I do. I use my legit Sony walkman for walks with tapes. There are two modern ones, the FiiO CP-13 is actually pretty good with usbc charging. But significant heavier than a AA powered device. There are some ali express models that aren't horrible.
