Title: "Embers" and "Embers Dream" Cassettes
Post by: hathorcat on January 21, 2012, 02:58:47 PM
Gosh...remember the days of the cassette recorder [*sigh* reminiscing!]


Anyway on to my actual point here...I am in the middle [actually only about a 100th of the way into] my "clear out" of the boxes and drawers of accessories and items I have built up and came across, what I thought was the yellow cassette from Listen n Fun Ember but....


This one is yellow, it has the blue sticker on the front, in fact the design of the sticker is identical but it is called "Embers" not "Embers Dream", the story is written by Dr Z and not by Merrill Farnsworth and it says Listen n Play on the back rather than Listen n Fun....


Can anyone tell me what this cassette originally came with?


Thank you...

Well, there is a Colorform book called "Embers" which features Firefly and some other ponies (but not Ember) . . . I think it did come with a cassette, that told the story of Firefly rescuing a sailboat from a storm, or something like that.

I know this is a little off topic, but it would be so cool if someone could rip these tapes and post them to youtube as I have ALWAYS been curious about them!

How odd... is it the same story? (transcript of the story: http://mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=73507.html (http://mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=73507.html))

Mermaid, Breyer ripped some mlp cassette tapes. One of them is embers dream I think, but I can't find the link to the upload. PM your email if anyone wants the .mp3 file.

Casette players tend to be somewhat rare in this day and age....I don't have one either!

I wonder if anyone does here?

No, it's a different tape from Ember's Dream.


I don't think I've ever heard the Embers tape, but I do have the Colorform book and I think it says something in the front about listening to the tape.  I will check if I can find the book, but I'm not sure where it is right now . . .

Ha ha, I don't have a cassette player anymore either!

Nope, I don't have a cassette player anymore either :/

There's one at my grandparents' place, but I think it's broken :/

I still have a VCR tho.

yeah, I think it is the one that came with that coloring book. As for casette players, I have one and some impressive quality ripping software so if no one's ripped any casette if I mannaged to get a copy I'd do it. But the problem is finding a good enough conditioned one.

Ah, that reminds me that I did see a topic on the old site where breyer600 posted mp3s of some other audiobooks... to Megaupload.   :(

Oh Bag Of Magic Food That would be awesome if you could find the link! I have always wanted to hear the old g1 tapes and audio books!

Yeah, I went to find those links again and saw Megaupload has been shut down.  I can email the files to anyone who wants them though.  I have the following:
 
Ember's Dream
Glory the Magic Unicorn
Lost in the Clouds
Picnic at Paradise Estate
The Dance Recital
The Magic Rainbow

I wouldn't mind having them e-mailed, but could anyone recommend an audio-sharing host that isn't in danger of being shut down to make it easier?
