@TheZorse I was explicit to distinguish from mp3 CDs

I wouldn't have thought to delineate between the two, but I can see how they're different, now that you mention it.

(BONUS POLL)
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.
@mcc Oh how much I miss my reel to reel.

@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!
@0x09 @mcc You are so right about the sound quality. But I had a 2-XL so I could fake it.
2-XL Robot from Mego (1978) | Toy Tales
The 2-XL robot represents an early example of an electronic toy that both entertained and educated. Short for “To Excel”, the toy encouraged learning through interactivity.

@mcc Born audiophile over here. Physical media will never die just like #punkrock and #rockandroll will never die.

@mcc ooh ooh this poll is me! I love legacy physical formats. Next do removable digital media! Or game consoles!

@mcc Reminds me that I have a DDS tape but nothing to read it. -

@mcc i'd need to go to a friends for the 8-track. so that's a train ticket purchase, but i guess thats ok since purchase here probably means hardware, right

@mcc I have an external CD player attached to my PC, and also an old VHS player that I know works because I recently used it to watch an old tape.
I can't rule out that my parents or grandparents have an old cassette player and/or vinyl player stashed away that I could borrow, but I'd have to check, and no guarantee they'd still work either.

@mcc funnily enough, right now I could only play a cassette tape without buying anything new.

@pikzim u have access to a community resource. It counts
I think train ticket doesn't count as long as it's like, commuter rail. Like going to another suburb is fine but another city is pushing it. If I'm making sense

@mcc What about just 'tape'?

@christinelove honestly i'm as surprised as you are. i assume it's because nobody on mastodon throws away their old computers
@mcc @christinelove I figure it’s got to be that, right? The CD revival is underway but no way is that responsible for this hitting 94%.

@mcc D'oh! Done now.

@mcc @christinelove in my case it’s because BD-R / M-disc are pretty good solutions to the problem of “I want to keep an archival copy of this data long term”.
But also the other thing.
