My cassette player (the last of, I think, three) bit the dust maybe ten or fifteen years ago. The cassettes themselves seem long gone -- including all the live recordings of me, both solo and with my various bands. Alas! My history is history🙄.
Vintage cassette playlists
Showing my age here. Dragged out my cassette box last few weeks - 24 mixes from '76-83 (post 83 used Sony beta tapes - what a mistake). Besides great music mixes cut with a turntable, the sound was very organic - not detailed like cd mixes. Very listenable, nostalgia notwithstanding. No wonder cassettes are making a comeback! Some of the titles I put on the cassettes:
That Fateful Day (Wedding Mix)
The Beginning of the End (Engagement Party Mix)
Obscure Stones
Dance Hall Days
Uptempo 78-79
Halloween Party Mix -76
New & Old R & B
Disco!
Lots of Live Stones
Drag your old cassettes out!

OP There were, Linear Tracking to ’see’ the blanks space between tracks. Adjustable Sensitivity to successfully find the blanks. Most if not all P-Mounts. P-Mount was an industry standard: same size/weight/tracking force, And no alignment issues, https://www.lpgear.com/category/T4P.html
MyTechnics SL-J33 has become my ’loaner’ to friends having trouble with their TT’s. It has an AT Microlinear Stylus, everyone is very happy with the compact little fella’s sound. It is quartz locked direct drive with impressive performance, the model I was advised here to look for. https://www.vinylengine.com/library/technics/sl-j33.shtml ....................................... I was using it in my Garage/Shop system, but switched to the Sony Front Loader FL-1 (pivoted arm), so I could stack it, and ger my dual cassette and 8 track units back in that system. Sony has unique headshells, an alternate adapter that allows standard 1/2" cartridges, which I was going to switch to after it arrived. Luckily it came with the adapter and best available Shibata cartridge already on it. Don’t think the seller knew what he had. P mount with alternate 1/2" adapter not mine, web photos
Cover comes off the top to make all the adjustments.
