So to me cassettes were gone by 1999. For two reasons popularity of file sharing and cdr burning. However they were still being sold in stores up until 2005 or 2006 I think much more commonly in 00-03.
They took a break and then came back later on. But this was the last time there were a variety of massive new pop albums on tape lined next to cds which were also starting to sell less.
I recall seeing Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Oasis, White Stripes 50 cent, Jay Z, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, Britney Spears etc on tape at numerous music stores throughout this period. Also minidisc for a bit as well.
Did you buy cassettes during this period ? What was the purpose?
Personally I was just starting to get into older tapes, for collectors reasons, but I bought some new rock albums back then. I liked the analog sound and owning more albums on different formats of bands I really liked.
