Sure, I (as possibly the most cracker-type here!) let out the most humourous nerdcore flow about cassettes and get no love...
You's all hata's!

I can't comment... all of my cassettes were eaten by automotive decks a long time ago. Cassette audio did give me some of my finest listening moments, eg:
...running late on a car rally, tearing down undulating dirt roads north of Toronto in an old Ford Fiesta, with the wheels lifting gently off the ground over the high spots. The gentle, lyrical sounds of Beethoven's 5th, second movement filled the air, punctuated only by the (clunk) of the suspension bottoming out each time we landed.
Driving out to Killington Vermont on a bitterly cold morning at 4 AM with a car full of "stupid tired" people, listening to Laurie Anderson's new (at the time) album, with the tape jamming right after she said "Sun's coming up..."...
.. while my brother-in-law was messing with the tape deck, playing that segment over and over again to see if we could get past it, an extraordinary sunrise burst over the horizon...
I think that cassette was still stuck in the deck when I sold the car ;(

Oh man - all those old mixed tapes you traded with your s/o in high school - of course you don't notice the hiss! You're too far down memory lane . . . I still have a fun collection!

In reply to:

Yeah, great... I'm getting Glass Tiger, Warrant and Def Leppard... she's getting Dayglo Abortions, Skinny Puppy and D.R.I.
Between that and spending all my time in high school in the auto shop... I wasn't high on any girls' priority list.
