Elcaset

"It’s not likely that a few online reviewers were responsible for the market failure of MD. It’s much more likely that the market was simply evolving beyond lossy formats, especially for recording."

It was not because of "lossy". It was because of "physical". It was just about the time when mp3 and similar ideas sprung up.

Of formats that never properly caught on, DCC (digital compact cassette). So archaic before it ever started. Decent sound, though. I could not decide between them so now I have DCC and Mini Disc.

I love 45s first when that's all I could afford as a kid. Then 33s was worth saving for in my teens. Then cassettes were great in my working twenties. Nothing like listening to little feat live on my equalizer setup in my Ford Maverick while out for lunch with a quart of beer with my working buddies. Then back to collecting LPs in Boulder where my buddy Joe owned a record store and the rest is history...
It was all great.
