US- ENTERTAINMENT-MUSIC-HARDWARE-CASSETTES-FILES
(FILES) - A file picture taken on September 27, 2014 shows customers browsing through a collection of cassettes at the Rough Trade store during the second ever Cassette Store Day on September 27, 2014, in Brooklyn, New York. In an effort reminiscent of events to promote vinyl, dozens of record stores around the world on Saturday held a special cassette day to sell tapes ranging from the new album by rising indie band Foxygen to reissued classics by ironic rockers They Might Be Giants. Few expect that cassettes -- notorious for getting jammed and unspooled -- will again become the dominant format as in the 1980s before compact discs took over. Last year, cassettes accounted for fewer than 0.1 percent of the 289 million albums sold in the United States, with CDs still topping digital downloads, according to Nielsen figures.
