Cassette Culture Lives On, Apparently
By Ryan Nill
While probably not “the real bleeding edge,” this MP3/digital cassette has managed to awe me, at least slightly. Chinavasion has created an MP3 Cassette Player, accepting songs from SD/MMC cards while still allowing the owner to play it over a standard tape deck. Yes, it is both an MP3 player and a cassette. This has many ramifications: has the cassette player, like Jesus or Kurt Cobain, risen from the dead? Will the Blu-Ray vs. HD wars be rendered irrelevant due to 8-tracks, vinyl and cassettes? Probably not, but its still nice to have something to play in my ‘65 Pony Mustang. [You do mean your pimping ‘88 Ford Escort, right? -Ed.]
The revenge of the 80’s is available in the future, from Chinavasion wholesale electronics, for an unknown price.

Hey…
i’ve had one of these for a while now, from maplin.co.uk
http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=98893&doy=27m8
it’s not the best piece of equipment, and doesn’t have a manual, but at least i don’t have to listen to radio 1 on the way to work anymore
Posted 5:34 am on August 27th, 2007I could totally use one of these. Some people just can’t afford to upgrade to the latest and greatest. But on the other hand, I mean we have a 2001 buick minivan and it didn’t come with a cd player it came with a cassette player and digital radio. We have one of those car adapters for our personal cd player but we haven’t worked to actually using it yet.
