Is the cassette tape making a comeback?
Cassette tapes could be making a comeback despite being killed off by CDs in the 1990s.
Sales are up as some artists now choose to release new material on tape. The Recording Industry Association of America is now looking for ways to track sales again.
Esther Ford who runs Manchester's Deco Records which sells cassettes alongside CD, told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 live's Adrian Chiles that she has seen a rise in sales recently.
She said: "I find it bizarre that I've had to go out and source a box of blank tapes, many people now come in and ask for them."
