Mostly when it came to recording TV programs. But when the switch to DVD happened, it was near uniformly better. Even cassette tapes still had an advantage against CDs.
What advantage is there in audio cassette over CD?
None.
Vinyl is cool because it's big and tactile and the cover art is massive and you need to be physically involved in the process of listening.
CDs are the superior sound quality format.
Cassettes are shit, don't display the cover correctly and they're small. They warp in heat and wear out quicker than a spinster's vibrator on Valentine's Day. Their only advantage was that they were relatively cheap and you could dub your demo/mix tape easily.
Idiotic format to bring back.
