Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those?
NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 5 days agoHow is it any different than making a playlist? You said a long shot, that’s not true.
I am not talking about Spotify, I never use it, but unless you are talking about the level of effort to make the tape, then what’s the difference?
Records are bulky, heavy, and horribly environmentally bad. Cassettes aren’t as bad but are really inconvenient.
I got rid of all of those years ago and I am so glad I did.
I still have a music collection, I don’t use streaming services though.

You have no time constraints when making a playlist. It doesn’t have to fit neatly into 2x 30 or 45 minutes. And because it has to fit into that time constraint, it affects the choice of tracks and their placement into the aforementioned flow. Including a track like Herbie Hancock’s Chameleon has a huge impact on a mixtape, but on a playlist it’s just another song.

So make artificial limits on your playlist then.
