RE: why the interest in cassette decks and reel to reels

I dont think CD is a good way of storing your collection to last long
If one has to remplace Casette i would look elsewhere to like Minidisc which i use and have only had 2 failed recording of over 1000 compared to CD which i had lot more errors.

Also Cd get scratched and is a pain to keep cleaning, on other hand Casettes can get corrupted by Dust or magnetic interferences over years.
Minidisc on other hand is safe because the little CD is inside a cartdige.

Personaly i prefer Mp3 for outdoor use and My computer for indoor use
CDs is not realy that perfect that some belive it is.

As for vinyl i dont know have never used it.

Everyone has their personal way of storing music
For me i belive the best way is backup all recordings on Minidisc.

So if want to remplace Audiocasette go for Minidisc or something like that.
