Tapes are still the #1 selling medium in the U.S., largely because of the
installed base of cassette players. However, tape's lead is getting

As for cars, most cars over US$20,000 come standard with a CD player now,
and many cars under that price come standard with CD or offer it as a
pretty inexpensive option.
