MD is much more durable and versatile. For the price of one MD you can get one tape. With MD you can do all the features of a CD and record as long as a Cd and now even longer. MD is the best and will always be the best. Man I am telling you if you think that cd was a great concept, this is the best yet.
Tape sucks and that is about it.
The hiss on a tape is incredibly annoying when you are trying to listen to the actual music. Sound quality, of course. You don't have to wait when seaching for a song.
