Interesting article, thank you! I was talking about this yesterday, and discovered that some of the cassette tape market is people in prison, who are allowed tapes but not CDs, which was not something I had ever heard of before (I'm not sure of which jurisdictions, but I think at least the US?).
These days, I think most of the LPs that I would hold on to are musicals and symphonic music, where that particular cast/orchestral recording wasn't released on CD. But I haven't been able to bring myself to start going through them yet. I'm not sure if I would buy more, although if I could find LPs or CDs that would replace the cassette tapes I wore out, I'd probably jump at the chance. Particularly the Mike Oldfield albums!
