    And this meant that car audio systems with a cassette slot were more future proof than car audio systems with only a cd slot.

      I had one of those too. I don't miss it at all, though, because the sound quality was dogshit. Now get off my lawn, damn kids!

      Strange. The quality should be about the best a cassette or aux cable could deliver. They are basically just two electromagnets controlled by the audiosignal.

      They are so simple there isn't a lot to do badly.

        You may have missed the protective film on the magnet head. When I had one, it was a night and day difference once I got the protective film off.

            or push down an Aux Cassette, plug in your iPod/Walkman/Smartphone and listen to everything you could imagine.

              I still use one whenever I drive my father's car. It's Bluetooth connected now, which does mean I have to charge it, but since phones removed the headphone jacks... /Shrug

                Well if your car didn't have one you had to do something else. It's an easy concept to grasp lol

                  Those were great. They did a job for everyone that couldn’t afford the latest tech in the car. Now you’re lucky to get a head unit with an Aux plug, much less a CD player.

                        It took me moving Country to get out of this situation, as my old Toyota was basically indestructible. Now I have Bluetooth, and the only CD is The Blues Brothers OST, which is stuck in the slot.

                        There are way way worse CDs to get stuck.

                        Obligatory Don't worry... It comes around again.

                            Bluetooth is nice too since you can use the media controls on the steering wheel. In case your mix contains tracks which aren't fire. Ok I see where I made the mistake. Aux is sufficient.

                                    I think it'e because of how long ago it was. I feel like society hasn't changed very much since ~2012 (last time this was necessary) so it all feels like one long continuous blur. And then you realize that was 13 years ago.

                                      I loved setting mine to the frequency of a local station and watching the confusion in other cars at a stop light if they were listening to the same frequency. I didn't do it too often because it is pretty annoying though and not too hard to figure out who's doing it.

                                        Lol my dad had one. I'm Gen Z.

                                        I last saw that in like 2016 (car was like made in like the 2000s). Then the new cars didn't even have the casette thing anymore.

                                          Electromagnetism and a touch of devil-math from the STEM layer of hell, as is with most technology.
