So, relative to a CD-r, which is more easily played, more musically accurate and a fraction of the price, how do we feel about the cassette as a tool of the under-resourced musician? Seems like more of an affectation that was kinda cute about 8-10 years ago, and now is just kinda meaningless. It was interesting as a unique throwback, but then it quit being unique and the 'resurgence' has been going on so long it isn't really that anymore.

If a live chamber orchestra is unavailable, I still prefer to listen to music on wax cylinders.

All of my cassettes died in 1998. I was sad, but I've gotten over it. Cassettes do not last.

@2- sure, but the same could be said about any physical format. You are making a thing that doesn't need to exist.

i love my old cassettes, mixed tapes, and audio letters on tape.
