Does anyone know where I can locate
blank computer cassette tapes for the
Commodore, etc.? Music tapes are usually
too long.

To long? Sure you waste a lot of tape, but any new audio tape is going to
be in better shape than any old Computer Cassettes you might find. I aways
used audio tapes with my VIC20, usually the absolute cheapest I could get
my hands on. IIRC, I usually used something like 60 minute tapes.

Hi
You want to use the thickest tape you can. Many of the
longer play tapes are thin enough to have print thru.
Tapes for phone machines are often shorter. If it is
a tape that has screws holding it together, you can
always remove and splice the end to the hub. Many
places have splicing kits.

Look in the phone book under tapes duplicating. These places have
everything down to 30 second tapes on THICK media, ok maybe 5 minute tapes,
but should be ok.
