Discovering Life's Insights, One Thought at a Time.

Do people actually use these anymore?

Posted on 04/07/2007 By Reedz
I still have a huge box of these lying somewhere and the only tape deck left in my possession is in one of my cars…

From Wiki:

The Compact Cassette, often referred to as audio cassette, cassette tape, cassette, or simply tape, is a magnetic tape sound recording format. Although it was originally intended as a medium for dictation, improvements in fidelity led the Compact Cassette to supplant reel-to-reel tape recording in most non-professional applications.[1] Its uses ranged from portable audio to home recording to data storage for early microcomputers. Between the 1960s and early 2000s, the cassette was one of the three most common formats for prerecorded music, alongside the LP and later the Compact Disc.[2] The word cassette is a French word meaning “little box.”

Compact Cassettes consist of two miniature spools, between which a magnetic tape is passed and wound. These spools and their attendant parts are held inside a protective plastic shell. Two stereo pairs of tracks (four total) or two monaural audio tracks are available on the tape; one stereo pair or one monophonic track is played or recorded when the tape is moving in one direction and the second pair when moving in the other direction. This reversal is achieved either by manually flipping the cassette or by having the machine itself change the direction of tape movement (“auto-reverse”).[3]

It seems all the 100 seats for the BlogItUp@UBD session on Saturday where da gangsta, Mr Kurapak, and myself are scheduled to speak, have been taken! I hope the organizers will be able to organize a bigger venue so that we can accomodate a larger crowd. The more the merrier!…
