I bought Ladytron's new album, i got FLAC+Cassette.. I have a cassette player in my car, and was looking forward to listening to it there.
I was very dissapointed to find the tape of absolutely horrible (by tape!) quality, it sounded so bad I couldn't use it.. Totally a gimmick. I ended up just recording the flac files onto another, blank tape and they sound just fine (by tape standards, actually, by most standards).
I hope the new-vinyl is not as gimmicky as new-cassette.
