We tried storing cassette tapes in the rivet box. When cassette tapes were arranged in two rows in the longitudinal direction of the rivet box, 37 cassette tapes could be stored with many of them in a typical 17 mm thick case. A thinner case would hold even more.
The width of the box is slightly larger than two rows of cassette tapes, which is just right for putting fingers in the open space to remove cassette tapes. There is a gap of about 10 mm between the cassette tape and the lid.
Although it is indeed heavy with 37 cassette tapes, the body made of flexible and sturdy hard fiberboard seems to be able to withstand the weight as long as it is not used in such a way as to put excessive strain on it.
Cassette tapes have been gaining in reputation and attention in recent years. The materiality of the analog media, such as the texture of the plastic sleeve and the circling noise heard when the magnetic tape is played back, is certainly appealing. I have not had a cassette tape in my hands for a long time, and I can understand why it has gained such a high reputation. Personally, I loved the colorful, unique, and diverse appearance of the sleeve when the cassette tape is stored.
Now, what shall we store next? Please look forward to the next installment.
