Mixtape breakdown

October 24, 2024

What was the most common length of a blank audio cassette like those used for making mixtapes in the ‘80s and ‘90s? In minutes, was it … A.) 30, B.) 60, C.) 90 or D.) 120?

The answer: C.) 90. Yep, 45 minutes per side gave you just enough time to impress your crush or bestie with your impeccable taste. You know, cassette tapes have sides A and B, so it’s only logical their successor was the CD.
