Cassettes never died, they just got louder.
In 1962, Philips engineers in the Netherlands quietly revolutionized music forever with the Compact Cassette, a pocket-sized marvel no bigger than a matchbox. Unveiled at the Berlin Radio Show in August 1963, it stunned the world with its simplicity: two reels, a 1/8-inch tape, and endless potential. A year later, it stormed America, igniting a global obsession. From bedroom boomboxes to audiophile decks, billions of cassettes and players flooded homes, cars, and studios. Walkmans, mixtapes, and metal tapes followed, each pushing fidelity further. This site is your ultimate archive: every recorder, every deck, every model ever made. Dive into history, hunt rarities, and relive the analog revolution, one click, one cassette at a time.
