        Which is ridiculous because it’s really inarguable that between cassettes, CDs, vinyl and digital music, cassettes are by far the lowest quality. No amount of Dolby noise reduction is going to get rid of the hiss entirely either.

          One big problem I’ve always had with cassettes is due to the nature of how cassettes work, the sound literally slows down as the battery in the player gets lower.

            I really should know how they figured out how to do this what with going to school for audio engineering when cassettes were still around, but at some point, they figured out a way to get walkmen to just stop working when the battery was too low instead of slowing down.

            But yeah, because of that, occasionally music at the right speed sounds too fast for me, especially classical music.
