Why Should I Digitise My Microcassettes?

The sooner you transfer your microcassettes to digital and CD, the better. Transferring your microcassettes to digital protects your cherished music and audio recordings that are encased in fading tapes.

As well as freeing up storage space, you can trust in a format that will never degrade and won’t put your precious memories at risk.

Converting microcassettes to digital also allows you to relive your old music or recordings on your computer, laptop, or mobile device, so you can take your memories with you wherever you go.

A Brief History of Microcassettes

 

The microcassette is an audio format developed by Olympus in 1969. Although they use the same width of tape as their predecessor, the compact cassette, a microcassette is half the size but offers similar recording time.

Although microcassettes were mainly used in dictation and answering machines, they were also used in the recording of music and were popular among concert and festival goers as they offered a more discreet method of recording compared to bulkier compact cassettes.

Olympus tried to cash in on the emerging Walkman market with their SR-11 microcassette player but failed to effectively rival the hugely popular Phillips cassette Walkman and were slowly phased out. Microcassettes, however, are still used in underground and experimental music circles because of their lo-fi quality and are still produced worldwide by a handful of manufacturers.
