Cassette Streamer Lets You Stream Music Through Real Tape

SMRTR summary

YouTube creator Julius Makes built the Cassette Streamer, a device that combines vintage cassette technology with modern Bluetooth streaming by recording phone audio onto real tape in real-time, then playing it back seconds later through an internal speaker. The contraption creates natural echo effects while adding lo-fi distortion and wobble characteristic of analog tape, featuring exposed tape mechanisms, a repurposed scanner tube as a VU meter, and dual functionality as both a streaming player and guitar delay pedal.
