It's all in the soul. Seek and ye shall find.

As for cassettes, as you all know I'm from that era, and even then I never bought any albums on cassette. No point. The only cassettes I ever used were blanks, and this was to record albums, or compilations, so that I could either listen to my music on the go, or sit back and listen to a collection of my favourite music without the need to put on all the albums.

These days this can be easily achieved via playlists and you can even shuffle them so well-known and played playlists don't get boring. It does take away the old pride I used to have in mixing or getting songs close enough that they would almost run seamlessly without gaps, but that was something I used to fill my time with and would almost certainly never do again. Even if it's something you want to do, there's software you can do that with now, so the feeling of achievement is not the same.
