In case that anyone is wondering if dumping Atari 8-bit cassettes in ".CAS" format is enough for preserving them properly, the answer for many of them would be a clear no:
If the actual audio in these cassettes isn't being saved somewhere before the tapes self-destruct over the years, these games and programs will never end up being truly preserved.
Additionally, if you have any knowledge on how to achieve a universal cassette format that's more reliable than plain audio recordings and which hopefully allows to stack different recordings of the same tape, please join the conversation over at the #audio-cassettes channel in the Domesday Duplicator Discord server.
