Did You Know?

LP Vinyl

  • The Long Play (LP) records were introduced to the public by Columbia Records in 1948.
  • Each side of a 12-inch LP record can play for more than 20 minutes.
  • There is a difference in sound between black, clear, and colored vinyl. Both clear and colored discs usually develop more surface noise (pops and cracks) over time than black vinyls.

Audio Cassette

  • In 1935, AEG released the first reel-to-reel tape recorder with the commercial name “Magnetophon,” based on the magnetic tape (1928) by Fritz Pfleumer.
  • Prerecorded music cassettes were launched in Europe in late 1965.
  • Between 1985 and 1992, the cassette tape was the most popular format. The introduction of the cassette single, called a “cassingle,” was also part of this era and featured a music single in audio cassette form. Until 2005, the cassette remained the dominant medium for purchasing and listening to music in some developing countries, but compact disc (CD) technology superseded the audio cassette in the vast majority of music markets throughout the world by this time.
  • The total time of an audio cassette is measured by the recording time on both sides A C-90, for example, is 45 minutes on each side. A C-60 is 30 minutes on each side, and so on.
  • No audio cassettes record more than 120 minutes, or 60 minutes on each side.
  • The longer the recording time, the thinner the ribbon of tape inside the shell, thus the less durable and more susceptible to damage the tape can become.
  • The shell itself is called a “C-0,” meaning zero amount of recording time.
  • The plastic case or box containing the cassette is referred to as a Norelco Box.
  • The paper card inside the Norelco Box is called a J-Card, deriving its name from its J shape.
  • An audio casette’s usual speed is 1 7/8 inches per second. An hour’s worth of tape can stretch 281 feet and three inches!

Micro Cassette

  • The Micro cassette was introduced by Olympus in 1969.
  • Micro cassettes use the same width of magnetic tape as the audio cassette, but in a much smaller container. By using thinner tape and half or a quarter of the tape speed, micro cassettes can offer comparable recording per side at its standard speed of 2.4 cm/s. The tape also spools in the opposite direction, from right to left.
  • Micro cassettes have mostly been used for recording voice. They have been commonly used in dictation machines and answering machines.
