TheCompact CassetteorMusicassette(MC), also commonly called cassette tape,audio cassette, or simply tapeor cassette, is a magnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback. Between the early 1970s and the early 2000s, the cassette was one of the two most common formats for prerecorded music.
Old home computers with integrated cassette players for data storage.
Or boomboxes with floppy disk drives for music play.
What do you think of the Sony Mavica? Camera that takes 3.5 inch floppies
Fuck, I forgot about that!
But let me counter with vinyl disks used for video playback!
Humans will see anything and be like hey can we put some information on that, and then not wait for an answer.
Wow. I am old enough to remember 5.5" floppies, but storing data on cassettes?! I remember how tangled my music tapes used to get. Can’t imagine storing important data on them D:

#mayvinylchallenge by @jennn_erator Day 30: Post an album that’s 30 years old. We recently did 1992 on SFS and I posted about some of my favorites, my top 2 being Henry’s Dream by Nick Cave and The Future by Leonard Cohen. So for variety, here’s an underappreciated Springsteen album! #brucespringsteen #cassette #cassettes #cassettetapes #cassettetape #cassetteculture #cassettecollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CeM8DqJMcfd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#mayvinylchallenge by @jennn_erator Day 9: Multiple Formats! Showing off one of the albums I have in a trifecta. The CD is my dad’s from when it was first released; the record and tape I’ve picked up myself over the years for less than $2 each. Honestly an album that feels most “right” on cassette… #brucespringsteen #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning #cassette #cassettes #cassettetapes #cassettetape #cassetteculture #cassettecollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWi-lbOyKA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Been looking for this on cassette. I thought it would feel about right and wanted the luxury of two discs in one cartridge. This one isn’t in great shape, but it was cheap as hell.

When I first began collecting the KISS Catalog in the late 80’s, CD Players had just become ‘the thing’, but were far too expensive to own yet. The first one I ever saw, belonged to my buddy’s Dad, and it was something you looked and listened to with your eyes, not your hands. Seems like light years ago. Thus, many of my first additions of the catalog were on cassette tape, LOVE GUN, being one of the first. Playing this little gem takes me back to those days. I remember thinking “Then She Kissed Me” was so weird, but couldn’t deny the fun of that guitar riff. And, “I Stole Your Love” was an immediate all time favorite. So much fun. Here’s to being young again…
