		A robust market in blank and pre-recorded cassettes and cassette tape decks was established because of its less cumbersome size and in 1969 the introduction of Dolby Noise Reduction.
		Cassette players took over domination of the car sound system market, and in 1979 Sony's Walkman added further flexibility and convenience to the enjoyment of cassette tapes.
		Cassettes also sparked a revolution in recording piracy- millions copied borrowed records onto blank tapes and circulated 'bootleg' recordings of concerts.

		The audio cassette was a major step forward, as far as convenience was concerned, from the reel to reel magnetic tape recorder, but some fidelity was sacrificed due to slower tape speed and other factors.
		Cassettes were much smaller than reel to reel tape and did not require manual threading of the tape.
		Soon the cassette was sounding as good as the LP records of the day, and it went on to become an extremely popular and widespread medium for recorded music.

		The cassette had been conceived as a means of bringing portable sound to the less discriminating user--a tape version of the transistor radio.

	Compact Cassette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Compact Cassettes consist of two miniature reels, between which a magnetic tape is passed and wound.
		The bottom two cassettes, featuring the Type II notches plus an additional pair in the middle of the cassette are type IV (metal); note the removal of the tabs on the second of these, meaning the tape is write-protected.
		Pioneer's angled cassette bay and the exposed bays of some Sansui models were eventually standardized as a front-loading door into which a cassette would be loaded.

		The Compact Cassette, often referred to as audio cassette, cassette tape, or simply cassette, is the most successful magnetic tape sound recording format.
		Between the 1970s and early 1990s, the cassette was one of the two most common formats for prerecorded music, alongside the LP and later the Compact Disc.
		Two monophonic or four paired stereo audio tracks are available on the tape; one monophonic track or stereo pair is played when the cassette is inserted with its 'A' side facing up, and the other when it is turned over (with the 'B' side up), thus mimicking gramophone records.

	Compact Cassette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Philips introduced the compact audio cassette medium for audio storage in Europe in 1963, and in the United States in 1964, under the trademark name Compact Cassette.
		During the 1980s, the cassette's popularity grew further as a result of portable pocket recorders and hi-fi players such as Sony's Walkman, which used a body not much larger than a cassette tape, with mechanical keys on one side, or electronic buttons or display on the face.
		Most cassettes were sold blank and used for recording (dubbing) the owner's records (as backup or to make mixtape compilations), their friends' records or music from the radio.

	Audio-Restoration by Graham Newton - Archival transferring from the audio "compact cassette" format
		To a large degree, the problem of tape path alignment was solved, fairly early in the evolution of cassette tape equipment, by a pair of fixed guides installed on the record/play head during manufacture.
		An older Pioneer CT-F8282 Stereo Cassette mechanism is one example that allows outside access to the azimuth adjustment, while the cassette itself is latched into position within the cavity by three steel pins that precisely fix the cassette position.
		ll of the foregoing presumes that the machine being used for playback of the original cassette is operating precisely at a speed of 1.875 inches per second, and that the mechanics of the transport, and its electronics, are within the manufacturer specifications.

		It was in Philips’ interest that one standard system should prevail and in 1963 the company decided to grant other manufacturers free licence to the compact cassette system, provided they adhered to the technical guidelines.
		A little later there was the radio cassette recorder, followed in 1968 by the portable radio cassette recorder.
		By 1971 the newest generation of cassette recorders were up to HiFi-standard thanks to the introduction of chromium dioxide tape.

	Digital Compact Cassette
		Unlike the DAT tape format, which is completely incompatible with the traditional cassette format, DCC is a format that promises partial backward compatibility with existing cassettes.
		While prerecorded and blank DCC tapes share the same size and relative shape of conventional cassettes, they are more immune to adverse environmental effects because a sliding sheet of aluminum covers the openings of DCC tape shells when not in use.
		Digital compact cassette decks share many features with conventional cassette decks and DAT decks as well as compact disc players.

	A History of Magnetic Audio Tape: researched and compiled by D. Cook
		The stereophonic tapes -- which bore a striking resemblance to modern cassettes, but three times larger -- held two one-hour stereo programs, and a 1958 catalog of tapes (mostly fictitious) was released.
		These were testmarketed in 1966 in Britain, more than a year before their release in the U.S. In 1984, cassette sales exceeded LP sales for the first time.
		This technology was intended to be a step up from the analog cassette, and DCC players were indeed able to play the traditional analog cassette.

		The Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) format was designed to allow users to record and play digital DCC tapes, as well as remain compatible with analog cassettes.
		The advantage of the DCC format was that the sound quality of the digital tapes far surpassed that of analog cassettes, and the DCC format itself was capable of sounding equal to or better than an audio CD.
		Pretty disappointing for a "portable", given that at the time the DCC130 was new, Aiwa cassette walkmans were being sold with a play time of approximately 14 hours on a single charge.

	Digital Compact Cassette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) was a short-lived sound recording format introduced by Philips and Matsushita in late 1992.
		Pitched as a successor to the standard analog cassette; and competitor to MiniDisc (MD) and Digital Audio Tape (DAT), it never became popular with the general public.
		In hindsight it is clear that linear tape formats are not as versatile or robust as disc type formats, and the advent of recordable compact discs (CDs) makes the use of tape obsolete for consumer applications.

		The compact audio cassette medium for audio storage was introduced by Philips in 1963 under the name Compact Cassette.
		Although there were other magnetic tape cartridge systems at the time, the Compact Cassette became dominant as a result of Philips' decision (in the face of pressure from Sony) to license the format free of charge.
		These are paired to produce two stereophonic tracks – one played when the cassette is inserted with its 'A' side facing up, and the other when it is turned over (with the 'B' side up), thus mimicking gramophone records.
