When you walk into a record store, the cassette section (yes, record stores have cassette sections again) won't be just filled with old cassettes, but rather freshly shrink-wrapped albums from the past week.

A format that was once considered a thing of the past and the reason album sales declined—due to the ease of pirating music—has been slowly making its way back along with the vinyl revival. Cassette sales are up, and 2023 is predicted to be an even bigger year for the format.

But why are cassettes back? Those familiar with the format may consider cassettes to be low-fidelity but, as with vinyl, the quality of your listening experience depends on the equipment you use to play your music.

Here's everything you need to know about starting (or restarting) your cassette collection.
