For the original Act 1 Standard cassette hunt in Crime Scene Cleaner, check the ten missions below. Some cassettes are direct pickups; others require keycards, secret routes, or puzzles, and one is awarded automatically.

Track missing cassettes and the achievement
Finding all cassette tapes awards “Juke Box Hero,” according to the achievement listing. A player comment on that page says the mission-selection screen at the truck shows cassette counts by mission, and reports that replaying a mission to collect a missed cassette may count even if the player then abandons it. That is community advice, not an official guarantee; verify the count in your own game version.
A community wiki describes cassettes as soundtrack unlocks playable from the Codex’s Music section and gives a total of 30, but that figure may not include later updates. It should not be treated as a confirmed current game-wide total. The wiki’s cassette page provides its own description.
