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.

At any rate its around 6 or so here and I cant sleep anymore. My shoulder is killing me every time my advil wears off.
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.

A buck? As in, an american dollar?
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.

You try and play a 40 year old CD
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.

Oh I'm not that much into cassettes. I'm much more into open reel tapes and vinyl . Cassettes are cool, but they have a lot of exchange problems. Most cassette decks just don't match. Tapedecks do, somehow.

noise used to bother me but these days I can fall asleep even with 40 watts of death metal pumping in my room (and waking up only to realise the album's finished playing)

the only problem with cassettes in this region is that it is quite humid here and they're prone to fungus - no real problem if I play them regularly, though, it's only when I neglect them. CDs after thirty years is kinda iffy, you need a read-all kinda player to play them, and probably need to be wiped with alcohol on a regular basis (wipe with a soft cloth from the center laterally to the edge)

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.
