Why, because cassettes have their own particular grungy analog "charm", of course! Or...?

I have heard some young scene-folk claim that cassettes sound superior to other formats. Their bands usually sound bad to begin with, though.

One thing is for sure: they DO sound better than MP3s.
Avatar 3:51pm
Ryab:

I think Dave was talking about quality the other day, and in my opinion I prefer uncompressed because silences are actually silent, all the intruments are more clear, and it doesn't need to be turned up to hear them all.

Agreed. Or most MP3s.

Until recently I had a car w/cassette deck (I almost typed "cat w/cassette deck" -- that would be cool too), so I still used them, but not much now. That said, I almost NEVER had a cassette break or unspool on me. Very unusual. I took good care of them and NEVER bought crappy off-brand blanks.
