Really? That's surprising.
Every Fuji audio tape I have (several dozen) has gone bad over the
years (loud squeaking audible both from the tape transport and over
the playback audio). Every last one. No other name brand has
failed, not even one tape.
For this reason, I no longer buy any Fuji product of any kind.
Lots of manufacturer's products quality vary over the life of the
company... and I would never equate audio tape to data tape quality
anyways, especially considering the difference in cost (and I'm
guessing also the difference in age).
