Welcome To 3rd Floor Tapes

Why 3rd Floor Tapes Is the Best Place Online to Buy Cassette Tapes and CDs

Hi, I’m Steve, the founder of 3rd Floor Tapes. I started this shop because I’ve always believed that music deserves to be something you hold in your hands — not just something that disappears when the Wi-Fi cuts out.

If you’ve ever missed the feel of sliding a cassette into a deck or flipping through CD booklets for the lyrics, you’re in the right place. 3rd Floor Tapes is all about keeping that connection to music alive — physical, personal, and lasting.

Real Music, Real Format

Streaming is convenient, but it can’t replace the experience of listening to an album start to finish. Every tape or CD tells a story — the sound, the artwork, even the wear on the case says something about where it’s been.

At 3rd Floor Tapes, I track down new, used, sealed, and sometimes rare cassette tapes and CDs — from independent artists to big-name albums that deserve another listen. Each item is carefully selected and graded, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

A Collection You’ll Actually Want to Browse

3rd Floor Tapes isn’t a massive warehouse or an algorithm guessing what you like. It’s a curated collection built from years of collecting, trading, and listening. You’ll find:

New cassette releases from independent artists and small labels

Vintage finds for collectors and nostalgia fans

Used CDs in excellent condition for those who still appreciate liner notes and album art

If it’s interesting, meaningful, or just plain cool, there’s a good chance it’s here.

Shipping, Service, and Quality You Can Trust

As a collector myself, I know how exciting it is to finally get that hard-to-find album in the mail. That’s why I handle every order personally — from packaging to shipping — to make sure it arrives safely and looks as good as it plays. Prices are fair, and quality always comes first.

Whether you grew up making mixtapes or just discovered how good a CD can sound, 3rd Floor Tapes is for you. I believe in slowing down, pressing play, and really listening.

Take a look around — you might find something you didn’t even know you were missing.
