(I have no illusions or nostalgia about this type of media.... 8 track technology is terrible. But it's fun to learn how it works and get things repaired. 🤷 ) #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org One of the YouTube channels I follow (TechMoan) used to regularly do disassemblies and repairs on 8 track players and carts - fun times, and he lives not too far from me, so it's great to hear someone who doesn't sound completely unlike me!!

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I like 8 tracks because of continuous play. (I once left Yes: Close to the Edge playing for an entire weekend in my room, even as I slept, at low volume. It never stopped.) I have also been told that it is better sound quality than cassette because of the wider tape.
