Same here. Although I have no interest in it myself, I can sort of understand the back-to-vinyl movement. But it’s a mystery to me why anyone today would want to listen to music on cassettes.
But for those who lean that way, there’s a store in Tokyo that is ready to serve you:
Same as vinyl - "the sound", and tactility. Plus tapes are pretty cheap, still. Usually around $8 last I checked. Also, it forces you to sit and listen to a contiguous album - no skipping around.
There were plenty of tape decks in the '80s and '90s that let you auto-seek between gaps of silence on a tape or even program the tape counter values for seeking to specific tracks.
