Cassettes are trendy again, so Maxell is bringing back its classic personal tape player. Even better,  they've added modern features like Bluetooth and USB-C charging. The players will cost you $80 to $100.

You've probably heard about how VINYL has had a major resurgence . . . and now, CASSETTES are having a moment. 

Cassettes are becoming so trendy again that the electronics company Maxell is bringing back its classic personal tape player.  And they've even added modern features like Bluetooth and USB-C charging. Unlike some modern devices, they did NOT nix the headphone jack. The battery life is decent . . . at about 11 hours of Bluetooth playtime.  And the player comes with a BELT CLIP for that nice, old-school feel.

They aren't cheap though.  Maxell's list price is $100, but Amazon has them for around $80.  And if you want to get back into mixtapes, you can grab a five-pack of blank cassettes for around $15.

Converting cassettes to digital is going to be very time consuming but well worth it in the end. Time to start "diggin' in the crates".
