Who uses cassette tapes?
The Library of Congress’ National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped: It has relied on them for its audio books since the early 1970s. Tapes can carry a Braille label to help blind users determine what’s on them. Audio books: Unlike CDs, when someone moves a casette tape from one player to another, the recording resumes from exactly where it stopped. “It is still the 10,000-pound gorilla in the spoken-word world,” National Audio president Steve Stepp said. Religious groups: Tapes are well-suited to recordings of the Bible or small batches of sermons.
