I loved making tapes for myself in the 1970s and - of course - lots of other people did too. We knew cassettes sounded worse but there was no alternative. It's weird to me that - as far as I know - in the last few decades no company even tried to make an all digital physical media thing with at least a minimal cassette vibe.
For example: "I made this mixtape for you..." has a charm like nothing else.
