Will cassettes ever make a comeback like records have?

Let's hope not. They sounded like shite.

No they will not. The CRO2 cassettes sounded reasonably good.

I miss the smell of opening a new, chrome heavy metal cassette.

Their comeback is already starting in Nashville. Apparently, it's become the hip thing to record demos on cassettes up there.

No, because of how bad they sounded, and they never had the nostalgia attached to them of vinyl records.

I'm waiting on the Elcaset to make a resurgence. That and LaserDisc.

I have about 290 tapes I copied off KLSU albums waiting for a resurgent....... I should've just stole the vinyl though.

That seems like a very risky thing to do now.
I mean,you finally get that contact that you have been working on for years,to agree to listen....and you hand him the cassette and he's like...WTF is this? How am I supposed to play this shite?
Or he does have a player,and he puts your cassette in,pushes play,you hear the intro,and the machine starts eating your tape.That shite has happened to me before.
I don't think I even have a working cassette player anymore.

No one on Music Row is using cassettes. Maybe some hipsters in East Nashville are using them to be cool, but they aren't using them for multi million dollar operations.

Glad to hear that !

No. Cassettes don't offer anything LPs don't have. I grew up when tape was big, but everything about vinyl makes it much more desirable. Imagine packing in some of the posters that came with LPs in a small cassette case.
I loved being my own personal Dj though

They have already had somewhat of a resurgence, but nowhere near the level of vinyl...

... and with very limited sampling. Can't really imagine a music exec fast forwarding or searching through a demo cassette to see what's good. As for reel (sic) portability you'd need to be very talented to have him pass it on forward.

The only reason cassettes became big was convenience. They were portable so you could play them anywhere unlike LPs. That is not a benefit when I can carry all my music on my phone or access any song from a steaming service. LPs offer a “truer” sound than digital

I really liked recording demos on the old Tascam Da88 machines though.
They used the digital cassettes and had 8 tracks.
It was a whole lot easier for me than computer stuff.
It was mechanical,so it was easier for me to understand.

Exactly. Ive been at bars and guys I know in the music business will pull out their phones and play their demos or masters off their newest projects.
