  Compact audio cassette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cassettes were also a boon to people wishing to make bootlegs (unauthorized concert recordings) for sale or trade, a practice tacitly or overtly encouraged by many bands with a more counterculture bent such as the Grateful Dead.
Cassettes (often in the form of microcassettes) are also used in business and educational settings as adjuncts or substitutes for note-taking.
Cassettes and related equipment will probably be manufactured until 2010 or 2015, after which the fate of the audio cassette will likely be similar to that of vinyl records or rather, of the common photographic film (limited, niche market production).

Most cassettes were sold blank and used for recording the owner's records (to protect from wear or to make compilations), their friends' records, or music from the radio.

 Beatles Cassette Tape-ography
While it is often true that early pressings of albums have better sound quality than reissues, the early cassettes were recorded at lower volumes (meaning greater tape hiss) and apparently did not have as long a life as the cassettes we have today.
The two cassettes were housed in a fl outer box with "The Beatles" and a large Apple on it, along with the catalog number.
Since early cassette tapes were sold in much lower quantities than were vinyl albums, and since cassettes were typically not available at the same time as the LP (originally), they tend to be much scarcer than their LP counterparts.

 St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Cassette Tape
The cassette had been conceived as a means of bringing portable sound to the less discriminating user--a tape version of the transistor radio.

Cassette tape was "hisstory" said one advertisement for noise-free digital recording, but consumers were unwilling to desert it.

 Cassette Tape Head
The 'head' in cassette tape player converts the fluctuations in the magnetic field (on the tape) into an electrical A.C. waveform.
If a sine wave sweep (from 20-20,000hertz) is accurately recorded onto a cassette tape (the magnetic density is equal throughout the sweep), the audio head would not be able to accurately reproduce the correct voltage level across the sweep of frequencies (especially at the lower frequencies).

 Review: Mobiblu DAH-220 MP3 player
The wire for the adapter comes out of a corner nearest the opening of a car cassette deck (and any other deck with a slot-load design); you can use adapters in regular cassette decks as well, but may have to snip a bit out of the door to let the wire through.
Cassette adapter sound fidelity isn't as good as a direct cable connection to the pre-amp, but they generally sound quite a lot better than the common alternative - a flea-power FM transmitter that you strap onto your sound source, then tune the car radio to.
Cassette adapters, in particular, often sound noticeably better than real cassettes - no tape means no tape hiss, and because the speed of the tape transport doesn't affect the signal, there's no wow or flutter either.

 Guardian Unlimited | Arts Friday Review | Last night a mix tape saved my life
Earlier this year, Cassette Stories, an exhibition at the Museum of Communication in Hamburg, threw a fond light on the home-mix tape as diary or love letter.
The picture that emerged was of the mix cassette as a way of re-sequencing music to make sense of our most stubbornly inexpressible feelings, a way of explaining ourselves to someone we love, or to ourselves.
More recently, record companies have started to issue promos in cassette form, not only because they stand out from the crowd but also - irony of ironies - because the original bootlegger's medium turns out to be so much harder to copy.
