Digital Audio Tape Transfer Services

DAT tapes were a popular, professional format, which enabled recordings of higher quality than CDs! Studios and independent bands began using the format as a high quality master before sending them to CD distribution.

Once MP3 and iPods exploded onto the market, music lovers found themselves gravitating towards tiny,portable audio players rather than a venerable tape format. DAT machines were completely discontinued in 2005 and the countdown to the end of DAT had begun.
