You can use any text medium for file storage if you encode the file using something like Base64. In fact that's how file attachments are actually sent through email, a text-only medium. Their encoded and decoded without users knowing.

Look, I try to keep politics under a cut, but I need you all to know that Trump's team is putting together what they're calling the "Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act", and I think it just speaks to this President that he hasn't noticed or doesn't care that it's the FaRT Act.
@craigmaloney Unless the cassettes are DAT or DCC, of course. Having worked at KUNI & KHKE during my college years (2000 to 2004) I can say that we usually recorded on DAT at a 48 kHz sampling rate, higher than the 44.1 kHz used for CDs.
Cassettes can sound pretty good, but a) they need to be at least High Bias (Type II) or Metal Bias (Type IV), b) the tape heads need to be aligned, c) the heads, capstan, and pinch roller need to be cleaned regularly, and d) they need Dolby C or S, or DBX NR.
