About cassettes
Cassettes were invented in the 1960s as a more convenient way of using tape. Reel-to-reel tapes could be cumbersome and difficult to thread. Later came different tape tapes such as chrome and metal. This improved the frequency response and noise performance. Pre-recorded cassettes came along in the mid-1960s. However, tape hiss was a problem and Dolby B was developed to reduce this. Nowadays the licensing has lapsed and no new machines feature Dolby B or C.
Modern tapes
Cassette tapes Have had a resurgence recently with artists issuing music tapes. Notably they have no Dolby noise reduction. There is also a collectors market for vintage blank tapes as well as some new production tapes. The We Are Rewind Portable Cassette Player can also be used to copy old tapes to a computer. The user experience evokes nostalgia and sporting a “Walkman” can be a fun pastime.
