Cassettes tapes go USB

Posted on December 7th, 2009 by steve

Finally, something us old school types have been waiting for:

As technology evolves, the tried and true Compact Cassette format is finally able to go beyond a mere 90 minutes recording time!

(Since 120s never quite worked anyway; they’d break after just a few plays)

MagneticNorth’s MIXA (pictured above) is a 1 gig memory stick in the shape of a cassette tape. Perfect for retro audiophiles and mix tapes, of course.

I want one. More info here. Blog here.

I really should dig out some of my old cassettes. I made some really weird ass labels in my day.

    Thanks for the blog post. We’re really glad you like MIXA.

    Looking forward to seeing your label design.
