It's the physicality of the medium. It's the rattle of the cassette in the case, the sound of putting it in the player, the feel of pushing the play button. Some people really enjoy the lowfi-ness of it all, the hiss of the tape, the limited number of songs, the fact you can hand it or trade it to someone else. While I don't miss cassettes I do miss the rituals surrounding physical media. Being able to pick a thing, listen to it, and not being sold on other items.
