Depends .... with a cassette you could toss in the back seat and it could get kicked around on the floor all summer and as long as it stayed dry, it would keep working the next time you put in the player. I found an old REM cassette wedged into the back seat of my truck ... I don't know how long it had been there ... the thing still played as well as it did when I last played it.
You had to baby CDs a lot more because once they got scratched, you either skipped that song all the time or the thing just got unplayable.
Sound quality was a lot better on CD ... cassette audio were never great even when new and they degraded over time ... but cassettes were durable out of their case or packaging, CDs were not.
Am I the only one who still worries about the exposed tape when I don't store the cassette in its case? I feel like a wrong move can simply destroy the tape, resulting in immediate uselessness. Yeah, CDs can get damaged too, but it's more of a problem that gradually gets worse instead of immediately becoming useless.
