Getting back into tapes recently has opened me up to the blank cassette tape market. So I thought I would get a quick post up to help guide you on the easiest places to buy blank cassette tapes.
There are more blank cassette tapes out there than you would think. And it’s glorious. The freedom of being able to record something onto physical media for dirt cheap, has always been a major selling point of tapes in general.
If you are looking for places to buy blank cassette tapes, my starter recommendations are:
- Look for some at your local thrift shop. You might be surprised at the amount of cassette tapes (blank and old albums) you find. Not a crap ton, mind you, but some.
- Cassette tapes on Amazon (I have filtered options further down the post): I have already bought some blank ones that I want to put my music on. I haven’t done anything yet because I suck I music, but I still like having them. The FYDELITY tapes (like these glorious red ones that are pictured above) are especially nice to hold and satisfying to look at.
- Blank cassettes on eBay. Be careful, you might be like me and go nuts buying blanks on there.
Speaking of nuts. I am now fascinated with this blank tape in particular:
That is the Tascam Master 424 High Bias Type II Cobalt Studio Cassette Tape. Doesn’t it look everything!? I don’t know that I have something serious enough to put on it, but I want one just the same.
BTW, just something to think about, you don’t always have to put music on tapes. I totally want to put my podcast episodes on cassette too – again, another thing I have been wanting to do forever but have not done yet.
You name it: Blank cassette tapes wholesale, blank cassette tapes cheap, blank cassette tape bulk… I WANT IT ALL!!

I found a couple of blank cassette tape videos that might help you out:
Don’t forget to pick up some clear cassette tape cases to replace all your broken at cracked ones.
As you might have guessed, so far eBay and Amazon are the easiest places to buy a blank cassette tape. I will keep looking for more places and check back.
