Music Goes Mobile


The creation of the Stereobelt in 1979 was the first time people could listen to music on the go. Invented by Andreas Pavel, the Stereobelt wrapped around your waist, like a belt, and used a cassette for playback.  Andreas says that this device was so people could have "a soundtrack to their life".  This was the first model of portable cassette players which was eventually put out of the market when companies had the technology to make portable CD players.
