WHY CASSETTES ?
Like Vinyl records, they have a "niche"
1. A lot of people are still driving cars from the 1990's to the 2010 year that still had factory cassette decks and have no plans on changing.
2. Properly recorded, cassettes have a softer, more natural sound than CD and much better than MP3 cell phone streaming. This is assuming you have good speakers. Most systems suffer the most in speakers, especially in cars. For instance, even a stock car radio / cassette with a new set of high quality speakers and sub will make cassettes sound really good where you can easily hear their superior quality.
3. Many people have a library of cassettes and do not wish to buy it all over again on CD.
4. Many have special educational material on cassettes that is not available or very expensive to repurchase on CD.
5. Many people wish to record a favorite vinyl record or radio program on cassette to listen later in their car
