Quote:As a principal member of the R&D personnel at Philips, Lou Ottens has been behind some of the most enduring audio products in both the analogue and digital domains, from the Compact Cassette to the Compact Disc.
In this interview with The Register, Lou Ottens, now in his eighties, recalls the development of the Compact Cassette tech standard leading up to the product's launch 50 years ago. It was a device that, in its time, would change lifestyles, manufacturing industries and have mixed blessings for the music business too.
