Mark, you forgot to mention the havoc the sun played on our amazing collections of cassette tapes! If you forgot to put your tapes under the seat on a hot summer day, you likely melted the music into oblivion or, at best, you could still play the tape but it would certainly sound sluggish in spots! And of course the dangers involved in trying to find a song while driving. Fast forwarding and reversing a cassette tape while driving was always an adventure that was likely as dangerous as checking text messages is today.
