   They can, who?   
   To be clear, both cassette and 128kbs MP3 are inferior music storage formats   
   no real argument there.   
   IMO the sum total of all problems introduced by cassette recording/playback   
   was greater than the sum total of problems caused by 128kbs MP3 encoding   
   with half way decent encoders.   
   Your opinion may differ, but it's still just that :-)
