@mcc For me its CD and a 50/50 on vinyl. I have a vinyl player in the basement but no vinyls to test if it works.

That's actually an interesting question. My immediate interpretation was "which of the corresponding players in working condition do you own" (which I myself do for everything except 8-track), but thinking deeper, it's that, but also "whether you know someone who owns one and would let you use it"

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 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
