Hard to justify when you can get a five pack of decent Maxell C90 cassettes for £15...

Missed the point. We Are Rewind are the people who make the cassette player. This is their matching blank cassette.

It's heartbreaking really, a decade or more I threw away my Denon DRM 540 deck cos it wouldn't sell even for £15 and 2 unopened 5 packs and a few loose TDK SA90 tapes, if only.

Didn't miss the point they are rip offs......

You could have retired on the sales proceeds today.

What goes around....

IME, vinyl has never gone out of fashion, always been a constant from day one.

CDs became popular in the early 80s, after seeing that dreadful Tomorrows World programme that claimed you could scratch and even smother it in jam.

Vinyl never went away for me either.
I feel sure every form of media has it's place still, except perhaps Betamax...
I still own cassettes simply because the music recorded on them is not available anywhere else.

To be honest Al, after my second cassette deck went kaput, and the hassle of chewed up cassettes, I totally lost faith in the format. After that I was solely reliant on vinyl and FM radio until my CD player came along.

What else is there to revive? Laser disc or 8 track perhaps.

Sony minidisc passed me by, but they always looked fun, and I believe still have a fan base.

Me too, on of the media formats that I never owned.

 

[plastic penguin]

Me neither. Never had the use for one.

Never heard of Elcaset. (Whoosh)

An excellent format.
The same capacity as CD, without any noticeable compromise in SQ.

Unlike with CD recording, all recordable discs were (are) also erasable - the editing facilities are accurate and comprehensive and all operations are flawless.

The best failed format ever ☹️
