Huh? IME cassette tapes often begin to stretch after fewer than a hundred plays, which permanently ruins them.

Never noticed that. My experience was that CDs were far from indestructible.

I still have a working copy of AC/DC's Back in Black from 1996. I have older tapes that work fine too, but not sure how much they've been played since they're mostly from thrift stores.
