@mcc I never had an 8-track because by the time I was trash-picking my own stereo components as a teenager I had the impression they sounded bad and were inconvenient. But of course I had a turntable and a cassette deck because you needed those!

@mcc I hate to admit, but I have a few modern vinyl records simply because I liked the look of them, and have no intention of owning a record player.

@mcc I'm a "maybe" for cassette tape. I have a cassette player that works but doesn't have a power supply but I could probably get one for free because it just takes 12v and I have 12v supplies around, I'd just need to trim the connector and use bare wires

@mcc does cleaning solution count as a purchase? i think i could play all of them, but eveything is filthy from being stored in the attic for years.

@mcc i also have a reel to reel somewhere...

@ellenor2000 @mcc It almost certainly can, unless you're using something very obscure and basic operating system wise.
Back in the mists of time a CD drive needed a cable to connect to your soundcard, and then a piece of software to tell it to output analogue data, but digital transfers and playback of the track data have been a thing for over 30 years now.

@mcc my SACD player and my HD-DVD player feel left out by these questions.

Which of the following music media, if someone suddenly handed you a piece of music recorded on it, would you be able to play without making additional purchases?
NOTES:
- If the answer is "none of the above" ,click "Show results". We can probably compare the previous poll to judge the significance of the scale of responses.
- Rather than worrying about differences between reel-to-reel formats, answer "reel to reel tape" if you can play at least one reel to reel tape format.

@gnometsunami I think probably cleaning solution should count as something you could plausibly beg for a neighbor. However, if contacts must be de-rusted, I call into question your neighbors' garage contents

@wtrmt I have a Mastodon PR with a proposal for this which has gone sadly ignored

@mcc couldn't you run the player piano reel through a scanner and wave software over it? Not *easy*, but way easier to improvise than the others.

@mcc I'd need software to play the roll, but at least that can be played from a scan!

@syllopsium @mcc I mean, I'm concerned the drive is broken. #lang_en
