i went back to the thrift store this afternoon and was able to find another kidvid cassette. probably will. i want to wait and see if the last cassette, cartridge, and kidvid player turn up. most likely they will not, and in that case i would have no use for just these two cassettes, and will get rid of them. btw, what are they worth?

great! i thought it might be a 'story book' cassette. i paid 50 cents. i'll have to back and see if i can find the others. i was on lunch break and didn't have much time.

I found this at the thrift today. Is it a KidVid cassette? The songs on the cassette repeat several times, occasionaly seperated by a 'beep'.

digital press has the records in mp3 here: http://digitalpress.5u.com/dpsoundz/mp3.htm just scroll down to the Kid Stuff Records section.
