How to make music from a computer sound the same as on a two-cassette tape recorder?

Question

Audio

Those. this very, soft sound for the background, not hammering on the head, not annoying. With the departure of two-cassette players (about 15 years ago), we lost (or not?) This sound. The new music centers (already with the addition of CDs), which went after two-cassettes, already sounded different, more dry, they were heavier in weight, and their cases were more strict, more futuristic, all this two-cassette has evaporated somewhere. I'm not talking about the media on which the recordings were, not that they have changed and the sound has changed, but the tape recorders themselves. The same audio cassettes sounded different on these newer tape recorders.
How to get this sound now. Of course, you can buy an old mafon in some retro store or find something else. But if you do not want to bother so much, then how?
What ideas do I have:
1) Maybe there is some kind of equalizer setting that makes the sound like this?
2) DSP plugins for Winamp or similar things? Those. some kind of transducers through which, if passed, they make the sound like this?
3) Maybe there are even special players (programs for Windows), which, if played, produce such a sound?
4) Special drivers for Windows or driver settings or something like that?
5) Something else. Maybe decoders or audio renderers?
6) Maybe pre-process the song in some audio editor, use something proprietary there?
7) Maybe you need to put the speakers in the room next to the cat or Feng Shui and then the sound will be like this? Can you cover them?
8) Is there a service on the Internet that does this?
9) Your idea is an idea or a ready-made working method, it is desirable, of course, that the conversion be on the fly.
How do you make the sound of a 15 year old double cassette recorder that works great in the background?

Answer 1

Let's face it, it's not the sound that's gone bad, it's you that's gotten old.
