Back in the last century when audio cassettes ruled the world, people would spend hours compiling mix tapes. In those days getting your own play listed tracks was considered the coolest thing around. It took a two finger maneuver to get to the red record & green play button to star recording from another tabe deck. This would take the entire song session to get one song recorded, unless of course you had the high speed recording tape deck. This again made you a cool person to hang around with. Now a company called 8Stick has come up with a way to bring back those good old days of giving a loved one a personalized compilation of selected tracks, with the list hand written by you on the cassette sleeve.

This 64MB memory stick sits in a cool presentation case that looks just like an ancient cassette. Simply USB the stick into your computer, drag in a selection of songs then bung it in the suitably tired-looking faux cassette. Ideal for nostalgia freaks, you can almost smell the hair gel and hear the sound of the top 40 countdown the second you clap eyes on this hi-tech slice of history. It's like CDs never happened. Of course the major advantage is that your recordings will be in crystal clear digital format, not hissy old tape.
