an mp3 player requires a lot less maintenance. why would i willingly buy an alternative with mechanical parts that require maintenance.
also, it's not just about maintenance. the other things bad with cassette tapes (having to rewind, fast-forward, lossy quality, etc) are still terrible

Tapes were absolutely terrible. They jam inside the player and can be difficult to rewind. You can copy music from a tape, but every subsequent copy made the quality worse. You have to rewind or fast-forward constantly to reach the next song. You have to flip them to listen to the next couple of songs.

This is just a guy flexing on zoomers. If they said CDs or mp3 players, that would have been more believable
