I actually got a refurbished tape deck the other day, and the sound is quite good. A CD would sound a little better but they seem to actually become unreadable faster in storage than tapes? very counter intuitive.

I'd love a nice mp3 player set up, but it's sometimes harder to get those legally for music compared to a CD or even an old tape now! streaming has a lot of downsides in comparison and I think that's fueling the desire to own a full album in some form.

A CD is a lot better, but the discman was crap because it was too big and it ate batteries. Converting a CD to MP3s is trivial though.

yeah, and you can go the other way and fit most of an mp3 library on one DVD or something with later CD players. (my car has one that can do this for instance).

but ofc at that point you can use a flash drive and it's way easier
