Cassette Comeback?

Is there a release format that actually sounds worse than an MP3? Yes, the analog compact cassette.
And the BBC says it is making something of a comeback.
The trend is motivated, in part, by a misguided, factually erroneous criticism of digital audio based on a suspicion of ones and zeros and no understanding of digital audio signal processing. The resulting fondness for analog audio then gloms onto it in its worst form: 1/8″ stereo, 1-7/8 inches per second.
Yes, analog audio is sweet. The cassette is not.
Comeback?
Say it ain’t so…
