Tape is still the most dynamic and musical of all the analog mediums so were on the same page there. It's main drawback is as you have discovered; tape deteriorates, especially acetates and sheds the iron-oxide coating over time. The life of tapes can be extended by storing in a cool, (not cold) and dry place and not exposed to light.
Unfortunately, even under ideal conditions tape will not last forever. Print thru or bleeding often occurs after long periods of storage which is also a pain.
These are just a few of the reasons why storage and retrieval of music on tape has been abandoned.
