Same here. I loaded programs from cassette tape into a Soviet clone of a Sinclair computer. Each program started with some sort of a loader block that produced a constant pitch. I would use a screwdriver to adjust the magnetic read head of the cassette player and listen for the pitch to be just right during the loader block in order to get the actual program to load correctly. Good memories.
