Music's weird cassette-tape revival is paying off
This word gets thrown around a lot but, hipsters!
As others have attested there is nothing good about tapes. There are very good reasons why vinyl has survived (You can manipulate it with your hand when djing, and <i>see</i> the music on it, also its technically possible to get better sound quality than digital via high quality, high speed, vinyl and an all analog recording to stamping process) But tapes, no, they are shit. The only reason to use them is some form of conspicuous consumption, signaling how cool and wacky u are.<p>additional, if u really want a kooky old physical medium go with minidiscs! They were amazing!
