What I liked about tape and CD, is that it wasn't too difficult to write/record. Before mp3s and filesharing, you could still make a copy, or a mixtape (playlist).

The main strength that physical media has, is that it is completely offline, it is physically at hand, and it can be obscure stuff you will never find online.

I recently got back into minidiscs and it’s great.

Hell yeah. Few things are more satisfying than sliding a MiniDisc into a drive and feeling it click into place.
