The compact disc player, or CD player. I remember back when cassette tapes were still relevant, and the CDs took over!
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.

How would your decisions about CD's affect some of your decision's such as how many CD players to make or cassette tapes to produce?
Decisions about compact discs (CDs) would directly influence production levels for CD players and cassette tapes. If CD sales are projected to rise, I would increase the production of CD players to meet demand, while likely reducing cassette tape production, as CDs would become the preferred format. Conversely, if CDs are declining in popularity, I might scale back CD player manufacturing and consider retaining or even boosting cassette tape production to cater to niche markets. Ultimately, the market trends surrounding CDs would dictate my strategy for related products.
What is a tape deck?

Are CDs and cassette tapes substitute or complementary goods?
CDs and cassette tapes are generally considered substitute goods because they both serve the same primary function of playing music, allowing consumers to choose one over the other based on preferences like sound quality or convenience. However, they can also be seen as complementary goods for collectors or enthusiasts who might use both formats to enjoy a broader range of music or to appreciate the unique characteristics of each medium.
