If I were in your position, I'd try to get mechanically good cassettes
rather than worrying about acoustically good tape. What's most likely to
happen is that, over time cassette tape will lose chunks of emulsion from
its mylar backing, or the mechanical parts will break or jam causing damage
to the tape. The audio demands for computer use are not very stringent.
