What's an 8 Track?

When I was a teenager, I had a pretty good collection of 8 tracks.
god, I'm getting old!

ha,
I kind of miss the surgical precision of making, and labeling tapes of LPs.
Or taping the occasional Sunday night Radio play of a whole newly released album.
I still have a bunch of mine in a box somewhere.
when i moved to my present home i left 2 washing machine boxes of vhs that still bugs me and the cassettes i have in a cupboard need to get compressed to hard drive but i have seen houses with 1000 + vhs inside .

There is so much I have on VHS and Beta Max that can't be replaced.. I use them still. See, the thing about analog vs. digital is this... with tapes/record players, some simple maintenance could fix most any problem you had. With digital, if the slightest thing is wrong or any scratch is present, you're screwed. Plus the planned obsolence of digital hardware is ridiculous. All the analog stuff still works!

Geez, I geek out over that stuff. I lost a lot in a move as well. There are some serious traders out there for copies of old t.v. programs/sports/music recorded back in the day. I taped a lot of stuff off of radio as a kid. I kept all of those for nostalgia reasons and because I've always been interested in radio.
Maybe we could get an ATS cassette and video trading tree going on!
i remember loading 2 tapes into a green screen amstrad 45 plus minutes to fly a apachi helecopter sim it was like tron wow i feel old

You bring back memories of the Nakamichi Dragon Cassette player. The pinnacle of tape players!
Now it is drag and drop. Lost something along the way me thinks.
