From my point of view, cassettes/tapes don't add much from a quality or convenience point of view but there's a certain satisfaction to the mechanical clickiness and chunkiness of the mechanisms which comes with operating most tape players that adds to the experience.
- MisterTea 3y agoThe real nostalgia for tape is the fact that anyone could record a tape and play a tape. Couldn't do that with a vinyl record or CD. Mix tapes, bootlegs, etc were a huge part of many music scenes. Bands could make their own crappy recordings on the cheap. The golden era of analog audio sharing.
- ochronus 3y agoYes! Plus the sweet sentiment of creating a mixtape for somebody
- al_borland 3y agoThis is what I loved about minidisc, they were like digital cassette tapes. I could record from the radio, trim out the DJ, order the tracks, and add artist/title information. It was fantastic. I could also use a TOS link cable on my PC to record MP3 onto the minidisc and reuse it over and over again, mixing up the tracks however I wanted. It was so much better than CDs, and easier to travel with.
