8 tracks and cassettes WERE convenient at the time. And entropy wrecks 'em, you can't preserve them. The magnatized info fades. NEVER close to the master recording.
CDs ARE close for better or worse. They can be sensibly ripped to lossless+. Anyone that does that with a compromised tape format is too cheap to stream lossless.
And as your playback chain improves they sound better than the streaming service's does.
No comparison.
