I happened to see a discussion of this (ahem) "bold new concept" in a modern cassette player Someplace Else. I thought it worthy of mention here.

I am gettin' a mental image of puttin' one of these in my pants pocket, and havin' that free cassette hub sprocket twistin' up tape, pocket lint and Kleenex into modern art as the tape plays.

Yeah, I certainly did see it, now that I looked back :P -- but somehow the ludicrousness (or is that Ludacris-ness?) of the gizmo itself eluded me. Maybe my brain suppressed the memory, sort of like the way that a victim of a really bad accident has no recall of the accident itself?

I believe I have something similiar......probably the same thickness overall, plays both sides, and doesn't leave portions of the tape media exposed.....

Now if they would hurry up and design a version to play LP's I'd be all in. Although I might need clothes with bigger pockets. It's all in the details.

Its been done.
