Street artist Neck (Oliver Gelbrich) created tapedeck.org, a wonderfully nostalgic online gallery of analog audio cassette tapes to celebrate the playfulness and beauty behind their odd design.
the audio cassette became the standard for music playback in vehicles. See 8-track tape. The tape is recorded in two directions, which doubles its length (two monaural or four stereo tracks).
This format gained popularity among consumers who wished to create cassette copies of their favorite CDs for portable or car audio systems without the need to split tracks across multiple tapes.
