I came across this article in the Telegraph trumpeting the resurgence of cassette. Some great comments from our friend David Price (HI-Fi World editor, and occasional contributor to this fine forum )...

Internet search engine Yahoo has reported "a bump in searches" for 'blank cassette tapes' (up 210 per cent) and 'music cassette tapes' (up 110 per cent).
I'm sure that's not all down to me!

"There has been a resurgence, partly driven by the high-end music purists market and partly because of what you might call the 'silent majority' of people who still have a cassette player in their kitchen or their car," said David Price, editor of Hi-Fi World magazine.
'High-end music purists' eh? I like that
