what year did the cassette recorders come out
In 1962, Philips invented the Compact Cassette medium for audio storage, introducing it in Europe on 30 August 1963 (at the Berlin Radio Show), and in the United States (under the Norelco brand) in November 1964, with the trademark name Compact Cassette. The team at Philips was led by Lou Ottens in Hasselt, Belgium.uring the 1980s, the cassette's popularity grew further as a result of portable pocket recorders and high-fidelity (hi-fi) players, such as Sony's Walkman (1979).
