 ok we're done with prep we can finally get to the fun part. once you have your music device whatever thing connected with your cassette recorder, take your blank tape and insert it into the recorder, making sure side A faces you so you record onto that side. next, BEFORE YOU HIT PLAY ON YOUR MUSIC DEVICE, on the recorder, press the "play" and "record" buttons at the same time - or maybe you can just hit record but on most models you hit them both at the same time. then, wait at least 10-25 seconds, maybe count it in your head, and THEN you hit play on your music player. it might record some dead noise at the start this way but if you do it too fast and without waiting it won't record. ok we're done with prep we can finally get to the fun part. once you have your music device whatever thing connected with your cassette recorder, take your blank tape and insert it into the recorder, making sure side A faces you so you record onto that side. next, BEFORE YOU HIT PLAY ON YOUR MUSIC DEVICE, on the recorder, press the "play" and "record" buttons at the same time - or maybe you can just hit record but on most models you hit them both at the same time. then, wait at least 10-25 seconds, maybe count it in your head, and THEN you hit play on your music player. it might record some dead noise at the start this way but if you do it too fast and without waiting it won't record.
  
-ALSO, make sure your music device is at a low to medium volume, or else the tape will record at a high volume! this one took a while to click in my head. you can do a couple test recordings to figure out the volume - just make sure you rewind to the beginning at the tape after each test, and do the wait thing before trying again, and probably don't do it too much you might fuck up the same (2-3 times should be ok??).+ALSO, make sure your music device is at a low to medium volume, or else the tape will record at a high volume! this one took a while to click in my head. you can do a couple test recordings to figure out the volume - just make sure you rewind to the beginning at the tape after each test, and do the wait thing before trying again, and probably don't do it too much you might fuck up the tape (2-3 times should be ok??).
  
 then you just wait for a while as it records. you gotta let it play through the music and everything. if you have a long playlist this might take forever. then you just wait for a while as it records. you gotta let it play through the music and everything. if you have a long playlist this might take forever.
