Casette Tape - 1963
The Compact Cassette, also commonly called cassette tape, audio cassette, or simply tape, is a magnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback. Compact cassettes come in two forms, either already containing content as a pre-recorded cassette, or as fully recordable "blank" cassette. It was designed originally for dictation machines, but improvements in fidelity led the Compact Cassette to supplant the stereo 8-track cartridge and reel-to-reel tape recording in most non-professional applications.
Between the early 1970s and the late 1990s, the cassette was one of the two most common formats for prerecorded music, first alongside the LP Record and later the CD.
