A bit about Cassette

Any youngster born in the late '70s or early '80s could tell you what the first audio cassette he ever bought was. Children born more recently could tell similar stories, but they would be about CDs, MP3s, or other technology.

Those of us who remember music before the invention of the CD are a dying breed. But cassette tapes had their own challenges to ownership. Susceptible to damage, the frail ribbon was prone to tangling or twisting, which often led to a premature demise. You can't skip around easily on an audio cassette the way you could on a CD. You could listen to just one or two songs on an album if you wanted.

Audio cassette books

For some, music books cassette tapes are still the preferred way to listen to a favorite book during long trips or relaxing evenings at home. Cassettes have their positive qualities, but more recent audio book formats have proven to be more efficient.

The audio book industry began with music literature cassette tapes. At the time, the Walkman was the most popular portable media player. This little device is still great for many reasons. Playing an audio book cassette is ideal if you are going for a walk or exercising because you do not have to deal with the frustrations of a skipping CD when listening to your favorite music books.

Video cassettes

Videocassettes were actually a medium used for storing different videos and sounds. Video cassettes are 4 inches deep, 1inch thick and a little more than 7 inches wide clamshell made of plastic. 5 screws hold them together. They have a cover. This cover guards the tape. These video cassettes have a long tape.

This is actually a magnetic tape where all the videos and sounds are stored in the form of a coded message. When it is inserted in the player, then the player decodes those messages and plays the cassette. In this article we will discuss the journey from video cassettes to DVDs.
