Do you think cassette players will ever make a comeback?

Yeah after civilization collapses and everyone is living off the grid.

Have the tapes been stored in a climate controlled environment over time? The tapes have probably degraded if they have been stored in unventilated storage places through the years like an attic. The drawbacks of tapes, just like LPs, is that they are not durable.

CDs made tapes obsolete, so the answer is the tapes probably aren't worth keeping unless the recorded material cannot be obtained anywhere else, and even so you should transfer the recorded material from the tape onto a digital medium.

We still use beepers in the hospital...

I decided to store all my important computer data back on tape. I love the sequential reading aspect the best.

Was feeling all nostalgic awhile back and thought about buying an old boom box like the one I had in high school off Ebay. Then I had the realization that I don’t have any cassette tapes to play on one.

You should really use microfiche.

But then I wouldn't get that cool sound as the computer reads the tapes data.

nothing like the "click-clunk" sound of the eight track changing channels as you're in the back seat knocking the bottom out of your date
