Design team Stefano Pertegato, Massimiliano Rampoldi, Eloisa Tolu, Francesco Schiraldi & Giovanni Mendini have just reinvented the cassette tape with the new TVDRS Tape.  This marvelous innovation isn’t going to make you throw out your iPod/iPhone but it does appeal to those who still remember cassette tapes and are impressed by this rare form of nostalgic awesomness.

If you want to forward or rewind a song, you need to manually do it by rotating the spools with your finger or pencil, then play, just slide the Play Button. And it can be powered by your finger. Yes, you just rotating the spools, rotating the second hole of the tape charges the kinetic battery. An LED light indicates the power status: Green-full charge; Amber- Medium Charge; Red- will die out any moment.  It is available in 45/60/90 minutes type and hides a USB plugs.
