At the peak of the popularity of the turntable in the 1960s a little known medium, the cassette player, was becoming increasingly popular amongst music fans. The cassette player would quickly replace the record player, and 8 track, as the preferred audio medium in the 1970s before being replaced in the public’s eye by the CD in the 1990s.

History
Cassette players were designed by the Phillips corporation in 1963 and sold to the public in 1965. They were originally meant to record vocal dictation but later evolved to replace record players in home entertainment systems.

Significance
Cassette players allowed you to in effect “shrink” your music collection as tapes were much smaller in size than records. They also allowed people to record from other tapes, records and the radio which ushered in the age of the “mixed tape.”

Types
Cassette players came in four main types, non-moving cassette decks, portable “boom boxes,” personal Walkman and car stereo systems.

Time Frame
Cassette players were in popular use from the middle of the 1970s to the 1990s when the rise of CD players began to cut into the cassette player market share.

Benefits
The introduction of Dolby sound and noise reduction technology greatly improved the audio quality of cassette players as compared to 8 track players and cheaper turntable record players.

How to Extend Laptop Battery Life?
Laptop computer batteries often run out of power sooner than would be desired. Here are some tips for making them last longer between charges…

Screensaver: Change your laptop’s screensaver to a blank (Black) screen, and set it to turn on within a few minutes of inactivity. Screensavers with graphics and sound effects will drain the power more quickly, whereas a blank screen will conserve power.

Hard Drive & Disk Drive: Avoid using the hard drive and disk drive excessively. Because these are mechanical mechanisms, they consume more power. In some cases, upgrading the amount of memory will reduce hard drive usage. If your vgp-bps8 laptop is set to run anti-virus scans periodically, only allow this to happen when you have it connected to AC power, because this substantially increases hard drive usage while it is running. If you are using an older laptop with no hard drive, consider using a VDISK or RAMDISK (read more here) to reduce disk drive usage.

Sound/Music: If you want to listen to music while operating the computer, consider using a separate radio, cassette recorder, or CD player. If the CD player’s batteries run out, you will be able to keep using the computer, which is probably your higher priority.

USB Devices: If your sony vgp-bps8 laptop computer has a USB port, keep in mind that some USB devices draw power from the computer’s battery while they are plugged in to it. Avoid leaving such devices plugged in longer than they need to be.

Mike Phillips – Come Inside With Me

Question by BlahBlahRainbow: Which CD/Radio/Cassette player should we buy?
We’ve recently had our kitchen re-done and although we got more room move about in, we now have less worktop. This is a bit of a problem but we’re working around it, one thing we’re doing is changing our CD/Radio/Cassette player, for a smaller one.
At the moment, our CD/Radio/Cassette player is roughly (I’m bad with measurements)

• H= 20cm
• W= 40cm
• D= 25cm

…so it’s fat. It’s way too big and means that there’s hardly any room for anything else

that’s is –> http://www.ciao.co.uk/product_media_view.php?ProductId=3100&MediaId=3100&MediaType=Image

SO we need a new one, the only problem is, this one is a really good one, the sound is pretty awesome, there’s a remote, the signal is good (was good until I snapped the antenna in half by accident… I was 8 haha but even good after I tried to hide it by taping it together with cocktail sticks and got away with it ) you can choose which radio station without there being any signal for it (good for programming and skips up every 00.05) and most importantly it can play CD, Radio AND Cassette (for my dad’s old cassettes)

We’ve got a budget of about £50 really but it’s pretty flexible (as long as it will last) and we’ve found these….

• http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5135444/Trail/searchtext%3ECD+CASSETTE+RADIO.htm

….the only problem now though is which one? Do you have one yourself that’s good? But also compact?

Thanks for any ideas/tips or whatever beforehand x

-P.S. Is there something that converts Cassettes into CD’s? Because if there is then it would be easier to get that and convert them into CD’s so we’d only need a CD/Radio player, which is common and easy to find
