mg many artists on CD At
f ace the Musk 806 l 13th

tape sa two to one
Wtule this is not an industry
wide reflection, it is a good mdi
cator ot the popularity ot CDs
CD players are available lor
home car or portable usage,
and price , start near $180 and
go into the thousands tor a

Recently, manufacturers

Compact Disc
Strength* The mate
rial on a compact disc
is ,i better reptosenta
(■on o* the musical parlor
nuinni Also a CD player
never rn.ik.i-. contact with the
dir» apt by way ol lasers
.irvd so wi-.e and tear prob
lems are minimal
Weatme**** Although Ux:h
ndtogrcal advances are anbc*
paled one still cannot record
with the CD formal at least
no! without a tot of money
Cassette
Strength* Cassettes are
widespread cheap and easy
to use They are pot til Me and
regardless Ol any advances tn
CD te r.rKilogy cassettes will
be the major part ol the re
cordirig market lot years to
com#
Weaknetiet Although ro
cord companies guarantee
lifetime use a cassette can be
worn out through oicessrvo
play Even the dearest cas
sette recordings have some
trace ol background hiss
which increases as the cas
sette agirs
Vinyl Record
Strengths IPs have then
devotees who behove they
grve .1 musical performance a
moro real is DC sou fid
Weaknesses Today the
puce ot a name brand CD
pi.iTef s often tower than that
of a turntable IPs are bulky
and difficult to store and noo
die reoord wear and tear prob
terns frequently arise
Digital Audio Tape
Strength* By combining a
CD's digital technology with a
cassette s recording ability
DAT gives a listener the best
of botti worlds
Weaknesses DAT stilt occu
pros a small part ol the mar
kel and can be difficult lo
fmd Because DAT is still a
cassette some shelf lito and
wear and tear problems can
result
