I just totally destroyed my Duran Duran "Rio" tape. It went from bad to worse.
On one side it plays alright, and on the other it keeps stopping, and if I hold down the play button it will play very slowly with some added sound effects of odd-i-ness.
Any bits of advice before I give up and switch to CD?

I'd have to say you're just better off downloading it or getting the CD. Nostalgia purposes set aside, the cassette is beyond saving.

Okay, thanks anyway.
