Cassette Audio Books

Cassette audio books are the original format which made these recorded texts popular. Originally, they provided the benefit of allowing listeners to stop and restart in the exact location. This rendered them more preferable than CDs when that option first arose.

However CD players eventually developed resume play capabilities. Of course, cassette audio books could be removed and reinserted into a completely different player while remaining in place. It was primarily when CD players became the standard option within cars that they overtook cassette tape popularity.

Cassette audio books are often called "books on tape." This phrase is actually a trademark. It was developed by the Books on Tape Corporation.
