    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?

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

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

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

                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
