Yeah, I don't get that either. All the "convenience" of tape and it sounds crappy, too!

It can't just be nostalgia—my first portable playback device was a Sony Walkman and I can't ever imagine wanting to use one again.

TechMoan on YouTube has a great video on cassette tapes - granted he's got thousands and thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment.
