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. Nightmare mode’s discs are a separate collectible category, while Community and Act 2 missions add more music collectibles.

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.
