Trash those records, now we have tape!

Back in the day, audiophiles listened to music on tape, but they were hard to change. Here's an orphaned tape format RCA was eager to sell you: 4 tracks of bliss in one easy-to -load, huge cartridge

..and you can you still do editing with these as you can do with open reel. RCA had it pretty well with this format, but the Philips Cassette format killed this RCA format .. as did with JVC's Laserdisc killed RCA's CED videodisc.

You can still find blank tapes like in Wal-Mart, Office Max, Target, or in yard sales.

Never seen that type before. I owne a small reel-to-reel in the late '60s with a round clip-on microphone. Thinks the tape was about 1/4 " wide on a 3" reel. My Next unit was a cassette.

Owned only one 8-track tape purchased used. Thought they were ugly.

I remember the huge Sony reel-to-reel audio tapes. And videotape recorders. So bulky to carry around and weighed a ton! I still like reel to reel stuff though.
