I hear Yamaha is close to signing a deal with Victrola!

Pardon my ignorance but is this a joke? Does the Venture really still come with a cassette player??

I have an 05 Royal Star Venture Midnight with a cassette player that does has a AUX plug in for my phone or mp3.
But I can't understand why they would still put in a cassette player in 05 or even a cd player when it is such old technlogy.
But I love it anyway! Just like my 05 Nomad.

Yessir, it's no joke. This is from the Star website and the list of features for the 2013 Royal Star Venture:

Quote:
Single-point audio control system for AM/FM radio, cassette, and intercom is MP3-compatible and headset-ready. The system also includes a Star-branded iPod touch (8GB) with an iSimple SolutionsTM audio interface by AAMP of America.
I'll give them props for throwing in an iPod, but there is no acceptable excuse for a cassette player at all in this day and age. I wonder if it comes with a free cassette? Something like Duran Duran's greatest hits seems appropriate.
