I guess there's people out there who love vintage technology

The National Audio Company of Springfield, Missouri was still in the business of manufacturing cassettes long after the major players in the industry moved on to compact discs (CDs).

Like vinyl records before them, cassette tapes are now back in style.

Time to fire up those Walkmans and boomboxes (Or buy a new or used one. They still manufacture them.)!

Guardians of the Galaxy was the first movie to release their soundtrack on cassette in a very long time. It looks exactly like the mixtape from the film!

I can't believe they would seriously make a comeback.

A single thumb drive can hold as many tunes as a closet full of tapes.

There are people out there that like the analog sound of cassette tapes and vinyl records better than the digital sound of CDs or MP3s.
