Huh? IME cassette tapes often begin to stretch after fewer than a hundred plays, which permanently ruins them.

I still have a working copy of AC/DC's Back in Black from 1996. I have older tapes that work fine too, but not sure how much they've been played since they're mostly from thrift stores.

Never noticed that. My experience was that CDs were far from indestructible.
