I've been pretty much listening to cassettes for the past 6 weeks while I'm in a crappy temp apt while they do work on my bldg - my stereo is all packed away as is my hard drive, so I've been listening to cassettes on a boom box. The very first live tape I ever got, a Doors show from 66 at the matrix, doesn't sound any better but the tape still plays fine nearly 30 years later. The boom box speakers are fried, so I need to buy a new one, but I'm not even sure they make these anymore. The Cd player doesn't work too well and the antenna is broken off.
And I dug out several older Thurston nonSY ensembles from the 90's on cassette I hadn't listened to in awhile because they were from digital sources and I never copied them to CDR, hoping to find original digital sources. That didn't happen so I guess I have a project once I get my stereo set back up.
Cassettes are better in one way than digital because you press play, and it plays. With digital you have to go through a painful loading procedure.
