Re-recording on a cassette tape

[Old Ears too]

I have some good cassette tapes that have recordings I made off the radio years ago, that I don't want to listen to any more. I'd like to reuse the cassettes to make good recordings off LP's now.
Should I record right over the previously recorded tape or should I run the tape thru recording at '0' input first before reusing them?
If it'll help to record at '0' input first I'll do it. Time isn't a problem when you're retired I'm finding.

Just record over what's there. Unlikely enough of the old recording will remain to be audible (assuming your deck works properly).

Cheers,

Thanks Larry. I'll give it a try and see how it works out.

I've done that several times with success. The only problem I've found is that some of the cheaper tapes I used years ago bind up and drag. If they don't play right before recording they are pitched.
