Hit FM's information puts the total number of songs Tai has written over the years at more than two hundred.

Her early recordings included both duets and solo compositions. "邰肇玫．施碧梧-二重唱創作專輯" was released in 1980, followed the next year by "雪歌" on Rock Records. "雪歌" was produced by 彭國華 and arranged by 陳志遠, with all tracks composed by Tai Chao-mei; except for three works, the lyrics were written by her longtime collaborator 楊立德.
