I would guess they're making more money now than ever before through iTunes etc.
DAT was cool. I had a Sony Mini Disk player for a while but that soon went bye bye once MP3's became common.
Close to 30 years ago I went to an auto show and they had a demo setup with the latest "metal" cassette tapes.
You couldn't distinguish the sound from a CD. (They had them playing side by side and switched over to demo the sound)
It may have been DAT but from memory the cassettes looked like regular ones. Not 100% sure though.
Were "metal" cassette tapes & players any good? It's been so long I really don't remember.
