If you are adding new recording equipment, now is definitely the time to record on CD instead of tape. Here are the reasons why:
1) More people can play CDs than they can tapes. A few years ago, people used to say " I want a tape so I can play it in my car". Now they say "I want a CD so I can play it in my car". Even seniors are saying they can't play a tape, only a CD.
2) The quality of CD recording is far superior to cassette tape.
3) The life of a CD is far longer than a tape.
4) The cost of a CD is lower than the cost of a cassette tape.
5) The cost of a CD duplicator is less than a cassette duplicator.
6) A CD duplicator will copy a CD twice as fast as a cassette duplicator will copy a tape.
7) Cassette tapes are almost extinct. When is the last time you saw tapes for sale in a music store? There are very few consumer cassette recorders made now. A professional Cassette recorder is almost as expensive as a CD recorder with similar features.
