In Germany they still produce cassette tapes :). Quality control is done with Studer tape recorders and RFT monitors. Some years ago I got two RFT monitors for less than 50,- € at Ebay :). Seen on German television, today at 18:31 kabel eins. I suspect the Studer studio tape recorders are un-payable and impossible to maintain, so I suspect there will be no long future for this technology. The same factory does produce records too :). The cassette tapes they produce are audio dramas, they didn't mention music.
