As with anything, it depends I think more on the person. Who here has ever had a cd get jammed in their cd rom drive? Ever had a vhs tape get jammed? Who here has ever had a cd get scratched because they stupidly left it sitting on the desk out of the case? Ever have trouble with a tape being damaged just because it wasn't in the case? Ever had a cd or tape damaged by heat? Ever had a cd accidentally erased? Ever broken a tape by mistake? For me, it's about being able to copy a cd indefinitely, and never have to wonder if the data has degraded from being copied a dozen times. Digital data basically stays what it is. That, and ever had trouble storing 200 cds? I know I won't miss the space killing 200 vhs tapes heheh. And my personal favourite, ever played a vhs tape on your computer? Not to mention, ever get annoyed because you forgot to rewind the cd? :) Tapes have nothing about them that is "ideal". Even a lousy brand cd is better. Although, I must state, I have used every form of cd/dvd, from brand name to schlock. And to date, only the brand named stuff has let me down :) Maybe I have been lucky. But it seems more important to having a good brand name piece of hardware, than a good brand name for the disk. Thus far, I consider Toshiba the best out there for actually playing stuff off the computer.
