I could get back into cassette tapes.
I love cassette tapes. I bought a bible on cassette at a resale store. Great way to get cheap tapes for recording over with music
Lol
And on the fifth day, god said...I get knocked down, but I get up again. You are never gonna keep me down.
ngl...
I never purchased a single cassette the entire time they were popular. I would buy records and tape them ( I was a Maxell person but did have some TDK) so that I could listen in the car or in my giant boombox that had APLD which was skip to next song.
Not me, I don't miss rewinding them shits. CDs are still good though, I still buy those because you can't go wrong by having it on the most highly-detailed and durable medium.
My first CD I bought in the mid 80's still plays fine. The selection of CDs was paltry and the only thing I could find at my parent's town that I was remotely interested in was ZZ Top's Eliminator.
Haha that's funny because I bought that ZZ Top album on cassette as a kid, one of my first music purchases.
And later due to lack of options, I bought Fabulous Thunderbirds "Tuff Enuf".
A few of the artists I follow put their new releases on cassette.
