If you still can't part yourself from the feeling of carrying round, listening to or just looking at a classic casette tape, then the Player & Tape concept from designer Jung Hoon Lee would be a decent, high-tech replacement.

The device is a kind of portable music player which docks three USB sticks, allowing you to store music that can then be shared with others. Maybe the romantic mix tape isn't dead after all?
