I don't think so in my lifetime

However I do remember them from been young because my mum had them.

[Kore]

I think I had one or two as a kid lol

[Ninastar]

I wouldn't say I owned them, but i borrowed some abba ones from my grandparents when I was younger. Maybe the sent them actually, i'm not too sure

[Roy Mars III]

My crappy car only has a cassette player, so I own loads of them.

[billy123]

Yes indeed! I had all the skid row albums on cassette!!
I was pretty cool like that

When i used to go to club kinetic i used to buy cassette boxsets of the night outside

One year my parents got me a Bros album on cassette i was disgusted but i pretended to like it

[Pyramid*]

god yes! LOL. I also remember the feeling of utter devastation when the actual tape/ribbon of a favourite one became tangled or worse.... SNAPPED.

Ahhh....them were the days!

[Visage]

Yes both audio and VHS.

I also had a pen handy if the tape needed winding back after it came loose.

Oh, the memories!!

Had to be one with the 'hexagonal' shape to it: none of the smooth ones - they were frustrating!

Worse - was knocking the plastic recording strips off - to protect it from being taped over: to find some git had covered the holes with cellotape to reuse it.

[Smithy]

Yeah I think so

[Niamh.]

Ah those tapes we thought we'd protected by removing the plastic strips only to find the power of the celetape ruined the whole tape. I certainly don't miss those..

Betamax never took off at all eh..... it's the long cords I recall for the 'remote control' - a remote that had to be physically plugged in to use.
