A lot of anniversaries this year. The audio cassette is one. Can you do this quiz though?

I got 6/10

The Audio Cassette replaced mini reel to reel tape players like this:

I stopped using tapes in 2004.
The last bastion of the cassette tape was my old car, which didn't have a CD player.
At home I stopped buying tapes in the early/mid 90's when I got my first CD player.

I got 4/10 but on two occasions, pressing what was the right answer didn't work so I pressed another answer to see if there was an issue. Almost complete guesses though. Cassette tapes for me meant ZX Spectrum games and not music until I hit my teens, whereupon I used to record music off the radio to create my own playlist.

5/10 and I was undecided on two of them. Tough quiz though. :D

Same here. I must have used 7 or 8 of those brands. Yet could not recognise all the brands.

I managed 4 out of ten, even though I should have recognised the brand logos on some.

My excuse is I used TDK almost exclusively throughout my cassette recording/playing usage. In fact, I believe I have five unopened D90s kicking around somewhere. :shock: :oops:

+1. When I did use my own cassette tapes, I always bought TDK D90.

I used to record bits of the top 40, back when dance music, Meat Loaf, The Bee Gees, Cher and rap were all in the same chart :(

Got my first CD in '95, still have some cassettes though and the ability to play them :D

6 out of 10

I still have a pack of five sealed TDK C90 tapes.

Only thing that should have been illegal was being that greedy, it would have saved this generation a lot of earache ;)
