i was asked to start writing the specs for a new jbl branded turntable recently, op. and then later asked to put the project on hold again
the gen alpha kids are probably all using cassette tapes or something now, so maybe you can get on that and be ahead of the curve

Cassettes need to be periodically rewound before they can come into fashion again

am I remember correctly that there were multiple kinds of RW cds that weren’t compatible
Aren't you thinking of DVD-RW and DVD+RW?

if you record anything on to cassettes you must use side B to record the exact same audio as side A *but in reverse* like twin peaks. this ensures each note goes all the way through the tape and provides a greater depth of sound
I feel like there's a market for a $100k cassette tape recorder for audiophiles for the this
