Started collecting Cassettes a year ago. Results? Pros;
-great to show off to house guests
-less expensive in the long run
-physically playing music = good for the soul
-keeps you off your phone
-keeps you patient and makes you appreciate the music more
-good excuse to go into music shops and have fun!
-cheaper than vinyl! Cons;
-Static noise underneath music
-Expensive in the short-term than a Spotify subscription
-requires batteries
-less options for albums/artists than vinyl (newer music = more money)
-tape can get ruined easily if not taken care of In the end, it's up to you! Collecting things is a fun hobby anyways and collecting something that gives back (tunes and sick beats!) is worth it.
I prefer cassettes and cds. Cheaper but you still get all the music you could be getting on vinyls. And a lot of local and smaller artists are starting to make cassettes. Huge plus.
