Do You Remember the Audio Cassette?
Before streaming, Spotify and even CDs, the humble cassette tape was one of the easiest ways to listen to and record music.
You could buy a favourite album, record songs from the radio, make a mixtape for someone special—or spend ages trying to find the right song by fast-forwarding and rewinding the tape!
