They make great write enable tabs for audio casettes.  On the rear of the
casette (the part that doesn't have tape showing) are two holes with a small
piece of plastic showing.  If this plastic is broken off, the tape is write
protected.  If you have some with this tab broken out, place one of the disk
tabs over it to let you 'write' on it again.
