I'm the opposite, I can fall asleep with noise but i wake up like 30 mins later. I need complete silence to try to sleep for longer periods of time.

I get them for free and they're full of music. No brainer.

Dude, tapes rule. I can go to the thrift store down the street and buy tapes for a buck. True, most of them are ****ty country albums, but every now and again I find a gem.

I wasnt knocking them I just didnt realize the appeal they still have to a few loyal collecters. The durability is bar none in cassettes in comparison with its competition. I'd never seen anyone with the dedication to cassettes that S K seems to have. I guess they are more popular than I gave them credit for.

They are about 10 cents at thriftstores here! I love getting (usually they're free or like 500 tapes for 10 bucks) second hand tapes from someone who's into music that I like. It's such a great way of getting to know music.

They're all gone after 30 years. Durability of cassettes is just brilliant. There's cassettes from the early sixties that are just fine. The problem is often the way they are treated. When stored properly and played in clean machines, they are virtually indestructible. Quote:

i don't have any open reels, or vinyl - cassettes are fine with me, they may sound not as good as vinyl but they still have a "warmer" sound than a CD |

Humidity is definitely a problem with any sort of tape. Same goes with video.
CD's just fall apart after 30 years. No player can play them after that. The reflecting layer just falls off. You already have this with cheap CD-R's already. My cassettes sound exactly the same as my CD's. There's no audible difference. It's just that a cassette can brilliantly copy the sound of vinyl, a CD can't. But I mostly use them for fun. Yes they sound good, but I prefer tape for it's reliability and a tape recorder has the same effect on people as a wood burning stove or a sleeping cat. It somehow calms you down.
