Tapes are overall simply worse. The fact that the more you use them lends to them becoming worse quality overtime is a big reason they suck.
you could run while listening to tapes - CDs kind of but not really
If we are talking portables, then just get a simple mp3 player and rip the CDs.
There was a time before mp3 - pepperidge farm remembers! But yeah, now? I still have a cowon mp3 player that I just can't find myself to throw in the trash...
Cowon made some amazing hardware at one point.
Was an interesting time to be in love with music and hardware for sure!
