Do you recall 8-tracks?? Great in theory, horrible in design! One used to see
smashed 8-tracks and yards of mylar stretched out along roads like we did
plastic bags just a few years ago LOL
I loved cassettes especially for the car. I still have a cassette player in
mine but I haven't touched it since I got this car. I use a limiter in my
audio chain when recording onto cassette so I raise the audio above the
tape's noise theshold which also allows me to maintain the volume in the car
above road noise level.

Yes they were convenient but then again back then radio was of a better quality
product to listen to. Now it's all canned by a computer - which is why I got
out of the industry!
