ELL: cassette tape shelf life?

[Brian Levy]

Hello all,

This is from a friend working with another Oklahoma tribe.  Could any of
you guys give some answers to these questions about analog cassettes, about
whose shelf lives I do not know that much.  I'll forward on to him any
answers anyone could provide.
Thanks for the help.

do you have any information on how long cassette tapes may survive before
becoming unplayable? or losing their fidelity?
i'm sure storage conditions would make a great deal of difference but do
you have any sense of this question?
