In Reply to: Deterioration of cassettes in storage? posted by Brian H P on July 25, 2017 at 16:09:01:
this has mainly been a problem of reel-to-reel formulations than compact cassettes. That said, much will depend on the conditions in which you kept them. A visit to sites like http://www.tapeheads.net will probably yield more info.
However, while I would also recommend spooling through a tape first before playing it, I would suggest doing this manually with a handheld device rather then expose a precious tape to the relatively large and abrupt forces of a rewind/ff cycle on a machine (unless it has speed ramping). After a few plays, it may be safe to do so in a machine.
Just a precautionary thought.
