  Cassettes are coming back

    Which is ridiculous because it’s really inarguable that between cassettes, CDs, vinyl and digital music, cassettes are by far the lowest quality. No amount of Dolby noise reduction is going to get rid of the hiss entirely either.

      One big problem I’ve always had with cassettes is due to the nature of how cassettes work, the sound literally slows down as the battery in the player gets lower.

        But with pristine audio in our pockets I do find a charm to it.

        I really should know how they figured out how to do this what with going to school for audio engineering when cassettes were still around, but at some point, they figured out a way to get walkmen to just stop working when the battery was too low instead of slowing down.

        But yeah, because of that, occasionally music at the right speed sounds too fast for me, especially classical music.

      But they’re cheap to produce and a good way to get sobering small when supporting an artist.

        Are they really any cheaper to produce these days than CDs? I would think, now being a niche market, they would be more expensive. Supporting a local artist is always good, obviously.

        I would be shocked to learn it’s cheaper than producing a CD. I can almost guarantee that it’s simply some kind of kitschy thing.

  Practical cassette winder tool which the added benefit of being able to write on paper AND erase that very same writing!
