Cassettes also analogue!
For the innocent consumer nowaday's the choice to get their favorite music is CD or VINYL. Cassettes almost distinct here. SACD sucks to, dead medium also.
Normal consumers like me go to the shop for CD and VINYL because the good choice of music.
Mastertapes, Studiotapes not for the consumer, special hifi recordings be it CD, download, vinyl or whatever consists of lousy music or test "muzak".
But CD's are not HIGH FIDELITY as I wrote earlier. It hurts my ears and brain.
Follow Ups:
Nothing wrong with vinyl. It is also an inherently good medium, like tape. But cassette tape is much more dynamic especially on portable systems. You don't get all the distortion caused by much wire, cables, Transformers, capacitors, fuses, House AC. It's SO obvious. CDs sound strangled by comparison. Portable cassette players and CD players frequently have their own built in isolation systems, e.g., oil filled dampers, anti roll capability, not to mention data buffering.

Absolutely right Geoff.
But as consumer there is no choice to buy my favorite music on cassette.
But wonderfull to make my own compilations of absolute favorite music. Own recordings of my piano and guitar satisfying, but piano never without flutter. Recordings on CD-r via computer very good but sonically not really satisfying indeed. Digital misses something, sounds dead unlike analogue.
