The "wow" as in "wow and flutter" was atrocious on those damn things. And track changes in the middle of a song! WTF?

My first 8 track though was Deep Purple - Machine Head! Played that one to death. Child in Time was cut right in half...

[nice keetee]

but at least they ran at 3 3/4 ips?

when i was in high school, one of the coaches had a little triumph tr-6 with a phonograph that played 45's... i can recall him zippin' around with the top down and "blue moon" blaring from the thing... i wonder if they had some anti skip technology?

Yeah, it was called "a nickel taped to the tonearm".;)

Seriously, all they had was some sort of spring assembly to suspend the turntable. Can't imagine it working very well with a rock-hard TR suspension.

When I was in high school, I rigged up an RCA 45 changer tapped into the car radio....only worked when I was parked, though.:cool:

[Pine Apple Slim]

We can no longer utilize our 8 tracks cause we can't find those little books of paper matches anymore to wedge in there.
Darn anti smoking Natzis messing w/our technology.

Just retrieved an old lear 8 track player from storage, will try soon?

[Pope on a Rope]

8-tracks are awesome. They allow you to listen to two tracks at once. You can listen to a whole album in half the time it would normally take with other media types.

I hated 8 track tape technology. The frequency response was limited to approx. 10KHZ and ever so often the stupid thing would grab the tape and eat it up by pulling it out of it's holder and either tearing it to pieces or wadding it up into a big mess rendering it useless.
When cassette came out with it's higher frequency response and smaller package, I thought I was in tonal heaven comparatively.

+1 , my 96 chevy has a cassette deck and I have decided that it sound as good as MP3's :facepalm:.

[Another Brick]

I remember some dumb reasoning held by some people in the 70s.

"8-tracks are better than cassettes because they are bigger".

[nice keetee]

[Voltan]

they can mone all they want abou their fancy liddle mp5's or c assette tapes... 8 tracks will someday be the icon of the recording industry and all other media shall fall shiort of the glory of rods... 10 kiltamegahurts? you talk like you gonna impres some buddy with yer scientifik speek... wier weigh aheade of yew mister... now go back and lern somthing at jyunyour hi skewl... pimple facest punk..

[SpeedBallBlues]

Well tape (reel) is better sound quality than CD digital. Not 8 track tape however.

[Voltan]
