This isn't really a good idea. Newer model tape decks "disengage" the
tape head from the actual cassette when not playing. Older ones such as
the one in the DeLorean don't, which will cause lots of premature wear on
the tapes and some on the head, as well.

It's not going to make your tape explode or anything but it will degrade
the sound quality much faster than it otherwise would.
