You could say this about any type of music player tbh (LP, cassette, etc.)

Yup, this just feels like someone trying to make the cassette cool again. There's a reason it fell out of fashion. If someone wants it, so be it, in the end that's their business. I just think it's a little silly to be sprouting more devices (and associated e-waste) when people can stay consolidated in one compact package.

Idk, I like cassettes, so I don't mind being a little silly sometimes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Oh, I don't have fond memories of them. Rewinding, lack of metadata, tape getting snarled, no seeking, limited capacity, and limited sound quality. But hey, I certainly have my silly areas so who am I to criticize?
