> I see little children having curiosity about those "cassetes" thing, but it is a five minutes thing.

Oh, cassette tapes are great for people with kids! Unlike CDs or vinyl, you can hand over the collection with only limited risk of damage, as they are substantially scratchproof and unbreakable even when used as ballistic projectiles or impromptu teething devices. Durable medium!

(Occasionally one will have its guts ripped out, though. Nothing's foolproof.)

But even then it's usually not strong enough to e.g. serve as a strangulation device a younger brother might employ on a older, yet not much bigger one. Or so I've heard.
