We are living in a digital era. Most of the people follow the trend of digitalisation. And, of course, digitalization is advantageous and highly convenient for our lifestyle. However, what will you do with the things that are replaced with the digital revolution? Like Cassette Tapes.

Between 1985 and 1992, most of the people used to give their higher preference to the Compact Cassette tapes. Even entertainment companies and wealthy record labels were experimenting on the creative packaging designs of these tapes to make them eye catching for buyers.

Originally, the Compact Cassette tapes were the innovation of Dutch Technology Company – Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Philips). These Magnetic tapes were designed with the Analog signal encoding. These tapes had Read mechanism of Tape head and Write mechanism of Magnetic recording head.

Basic use of compact tape was Audio and data storage.

These Cassettes had the capacity of 45 minutes recording per side in C60 and C90 formats. In advanced versions, some Cassettes had 120 minutes recording capacity as well.

Music was not “Free Of Cost” hobby in the back of the time. If we look at the picture of a decade ago, we can clearly see that it was a costly hobby. When the Cassette tapes were in trend, people used to purchase it in much higher cost than their production value. The hit audio Cassette tapes were even more valued and highly priced. It was the time when music was the hobby of wealthy and music loving people.

However, as the time passed, Cassette tapes became expensive option and now, it is not even a convenient option. People, obviously, don’t like to choose tapes over C.D. No matter which aspect we view, compact disc is definitely better than Magnetic tapes. C.D. can be highly cost effective, durable, compact and sharable. It is a digitalized music source and now people can easily download mp3 via official source.

The fact of today is digitalization.

People can purchase and download music in reasonable prices on any device of their choice. In fact, there are thousands of sources where people can get good quality music files in their devices without paying anything.

Keeping that in mind, definitely there is no value left in Magnetic tapes for general users. There are some people who still follow the trend of Cassette tapes but it is unquestionably a rare case. Most of the people like and prefer digitalized versions of music.
