With the good comes the bad...
- tape reels that are expensive and short on time.
- waiting around while striping tapes.
- aligning/calibrating heads.
- demagnetizing heads.
- lots of moving parts to wear out and break down (plus, finding the parts... if you can, and the cost to replace them).
But tape sounds cool, and the alternative doesn't.
