Tapes have been a thing with indie hipsters and small scale electronic releases for a while.
Reel to reel has had a little comeback in audiophile circles too. I'm sure they sound great, but the scarcity of music makes them seem pretty pointless to me.
Next up - minidisc.

Don't think so.
I loved MiniDisc back in the day! Even got the first portable recorder Sony put out (and a handful of other recorders / players after that)
It was so much better than tape back then, but nowadays who needs a compressed digital version in a dedicated player when your phone can give you lossless anyway.
[edit]
actually now I remember I missed the first one back then but did get the second version -
..and, when that broke, the third one as well -
I remember what a blessing it was to even have a jog-dial for naming tracks etc. 😅

Is fucking tape really having a comeback?
Heard that the other day, hipsters buying walkmen again now so they can listen to analog stuff while on the go and be very retro and nerdy at the same time.
Can't imagine this really being a thing.
