When did music change from vinyl to CD?
8-Track Tapes and Cassette Tapes were in between Vinyl and CDs. So there was no real transition from Vinyl to CD. Vinyls have never stopped being produced.
When did Cd's cassette tapes?
Compact discs (CDs) replaced cassette tapes over time as the dominant format for music. The first commercial compact disc, Billy Joel's 52nd Street, was released in Japan in 1982. Throughout the 1980s, vinyl LPs, cassettes, and CDs all sold well, but CDs gradually overtook sales of vinyl and CDs. (The first CD to sell one million copies and outsell its vinyl counterpart was Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms in 1985.) In the 1980s and into the 1990s, CDs cost $15 and up, which was considerably more than cassette tapes, which were usually in the $8 range or less. Also, many cars had cassette players in them, and people were a little resistant to re-buy their music on a third format (assuming they had bought some things first on LP and then on cassette). Eventually, though, CDs won out; cars came with CD players, prices of CDs went down somewhat, and cassettes were relegated to thrift stores and attics. Cassettes were still sold, however, up until around the late 1990s.
Why did the price of prerecorded cassettes fall dramatically when compact discs became widely available in 1991?
Because CDs are better than tapes (for a multitude of reasons). Before CDs, manufacttureres could sell tapes at high prices because there was no better alternative. However when CDs were invented, if taped had stayed at the same inflated prices, nobody would have bought them, so the price had to come down or manufacturers would have loads of tapes priced really high, competing with (better) CDs.

What is a tape deck?
an electronic item that plays cassette tapes. A "tape deck" is a device used to play cassette or 8-track tapes. They are fairly obsolete now, but until CDs became the rage, tapes were used regularly.
