I recently started recording all of my old cassette tapes onto my computer, mainly so I can throw away all my old tapes (which are just collecting dust). I have tapes from a variety of brands like Sony, Memorex, TDK, Maxell, Supertape, Irish, Certron, Fuji, Randix, Realistic. Out of the 20+ cassettes I’ve gone through, I’ve only had two problems… both with Memorex tapes. They don’t wind the tape properly, so one spindle stops spinning. That leads to an accumulation of tape inside the tape deck, which isn’t good.

After getting frustrated with having to completely fast-forward and rewind the entire tape in an effort to get a smooth spindle, I read the label on one of my cassette cases. “Full Lifetime Warranty. This cassette will be replaced free of charge if it is ever found defective in materials or workmanship. Simply send it, postage prepaid to Memtek Products.”

So – I wonder if Memorex/Memtek will honor their lifetime warranty?
