Colours
Did you notice the accent colour on the cassette? It is linked to the bit depth: the ‘resolution’ of the audio file. The higher the bit depth, the more precise the sound per frame is captured.
- Yellow: 25
- Blue: 50
- Red: 100
Did you know …
… that the playing time varies between 12 and 184 minutes?
