It was only a matter of time before cassette tapes followed in the footsteps of vinyl records and resurfaced in popular culture. Proof that we’re there is the latest release from Crosley, the CT100A portable cassette player. Perfect for your old mix tapes, the CT100A is modeled after tinier tape decks of years past. That means it comes complete with an AM/FM radio and two short wave radio bands. It also means there’s a record feature and a built-in microphone so you can get all Funkmaster Flex on a mix tape. Unlike boomboxes of old, however, the Crosley CT100A accepts thumb drives and SD cards, so you have multiple ways to play music. Go find all those cassette singles you bought from Sam Goody and get ready to take a trip back in time.
