Re: Walkman

True, but on the other hand, when I got my first cassette player as young kid, the first few tape I got were C60 because they were quite a bit cheaper. The C90 was certainly the most convenient and the "sweet spot" because of the duration. As you say, most albums where about 20mins per side so the whole album would fit on one side of a C90. The C60s were ok for shorter mix tapes, but a waste for albums, leaving 10 mins of blank. Same for C120s, too much waste if recording albums and the thinner tape tended to get damaged more easily.
