Ok here’s a November 18, 1992 news story about DCC from a Minneapolis TV station.

Do you need an account?. If I search for Digital Compact Cassette it will show a Conus clip, but it will not play/preview.

I don’t think so. It plays on my phone just fine when I tap on it and I don’t have an account. My suggestion would be just go to Footage.net and search for “Digital Compact Cassette” it should be in there in the search results when you scroll down.

Here’s some radio clips from 1992 of a radio show interviewing the Marantz booth at CES about DCC!

From December 23, 1990:

“a 120-minute DCC is expected to be on the market very soon”

Yeah, still waiting for that…

Citaat
“You will also be able to program your DCC deck to play the songs on the tape in any order”

Have not seen that I believe, anyway not on my Philips decks.

-Philip.

We have a few proto 120 Minute tapes. The tape must be really thin to fit it in the shell.
