    Listening to a 50-year old cassette on a Walkman from 1998… and it sounds really good.

    In 50 years from now, will any of current streaming services still be around?

      @thomasfuchs No, the streaming services will have gone, but the music, in full lossless digital quality will still be there.

          Wow ! What's your secret!

          Most of my old cassettes have got increasingly muffled,

          Or the tape has stretched and/or broken

          And the hiss certainly gets worse.

            Was it a Chrome tape maybe?
            Do they last longer?

                Given the size, some people may still be working on the initial download

                        Good old Walkmans! I used to repair those in my spare time for folk back in the day when i was an audio visual engineer for Bang & Olufsen.

                                @benh @thomasfuchs tape can be extremely good for preserving data, but moisture, light, and changes in temperature can compromise that significantly over time. I imagine this old tape was in a dark, dry, and relatively cool place for most of the last handful of decades

                                  @thomasfuchs I was 5 or 6 the first time I heard about Walkman, and I was 100% sure it was some kind of a superhero
