I understand this topic has probably been discussed lots here but I'm a tad confused about it all. I've always thought my tapes were moldy but others have suggested that it's just the tapes age and the coatings on it are shedding off. The picture there is from playing one song from Tina Turners Simply The Best.

During winter this issue rarely happens, it might happen a tiny bit but not noticeable but because it's the summer a lot of my tapes are having this issue. None have white spots on them through the little windows though. Am I missing something?

First time owning the original album on any format. All I own is reissues or "Madonna: The First Album". Can't wait to try it out later 😍

This is the Sony Walkman WM-F35, absolutely stunning bit of kit.
