The Compact Cassette, as it was branded, was developed by Philips in Holland in the early 1960s. It was launched in 1964 when production of the cassettes was started in Hannover, Germany.

Although other compact formats were introduced, such as DAT, DCC and Minidisc, none took enough market share to reduce the dominance of the cassette.
