Cassette tapes were first invented in 1962 by Philips, a Dutch electronics giant. Philips was looking for a way to make high-quality audio recordings easily accessible and affordable for the average person and wanted to bring this technology to the mass market. The result was the cassette tape, a small plastic cartridge containing two reels of magnetic tape that could store up to 30 minutes of sound on each side. Initially, cassette tapes were marketed as a cheap and convenient alternative to vinyl records. But as more people started using them and technology advanced, it allowed people to dub records onto pre-recorded tapes - making cassettes all the more versatile. In the 1970s and 1980s, with the release of portable CD players and cassette decks from companies like Sony, Panasonic and Philips, listeners everywhere could take their music anywhere -- allowing not only convenience but freedom in music consumption for everyone who had access to these devices. The portable CD players failed to capture audiences nearly as much as cassettes did - primarily due its convenience in use, physicality (as people could collect multiple copies of their favourite albums or mixtapes) and affordability over other forms of media storage. Making cassette tapes an ideal choice for recording music from radio shows or concerts or even creating your own mix tapes with your favorite songs! It was during this era where most artists released their albums on both vinyl records and audio cassettes - a practice that has come full circle today due in part to the resurgence of collecting physical formats (including vinyl records). Cassette tapes are now highly sought after by collectors all around the world ? whether they be recordings by classic bands like Led Zeppelin in their heyday or lesser known independent groups keeping DIY alive well into 2019! But why are they so appealing? Well there are several reasons why collector?s opt-in for cassette collections over digital formats such as streaming services: 1) Aesthetics: Many folks appreciate the look-and-feel of having physical copies of albums stored away in shoeboxes just like their parents used too when purchasing new music off record shops back in days gone-by! These items create character with distinctive scratchy artwork displaying on either sides ? giving them quality USP other formats lack; 2) Functionality: Due to technological advancements within consumer home entertainment functions becoming increasingly intuitive; it has now become easier than ever before set up stereo systems linked through speakers across multiple rooms enabling simultaneous playback (something you couldn?t do back when you used LPs!). The vintage feel partnered alongside modern capabilities results are making this more meaningful experience than having everything hidden away inside one gadget such as smartphone; 3) Curated Music Library: We all remember those days whereby hitting shuffle mode wasn?t enough nor offered its users facilities actually put different types pieces together; resulting individuals skipping certain sections they weren?t interested nor satisfied any genres requested? With today?s tech it makes curating selection easy which can help make transition between which form would tailor listeners needs best e.g 80?s power ballads through four sides funk groves 9pm summer BBQ etc ; 4) Quality of Sound: Unlike digital materialism audio contained within cassettes have limitations providing business higher grade retailers aim meet developing bespoke solutions individuals rather than streamline production companies favouring upcoming operations themselves whilst ignoring loyal client base from generation raised before technological period 5) Collectability: arguably most treasured out layers bringing charm much perceived expensive wide availability secondhand gear concrete offerings have designated stereotypes making itself intriguing particular type collectors seeking gift partner truly understand traditional wares discovering treasure amongst piles coins valued memory .
