Re: [ARSCLIST] The end of the cassette ? ? ?



This is just about the last "mass" market for cassettes in the U.S., I think. I'm not sure where you could buy a modern commercial music release in the U.S. or western Europe -- or if such a thing is even manufactured anymore. I think commercial music is still released on cassettes in parts of the Third World.

This article talks about the end of the cassette for "talking books".
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/28/business/media/28cassette.html

It has some interesting statistics in it.
