@mcc
I used to have an 8-track cassette player in my home stereo. But that was a LONG time ago. The others I have a current player with an option to record to USB stick. -

@mcc oddly enough, the only reason I can play cassette tapes is that i have the Radio Shack CTR-80A "Computer Cassette Recorder" for my TRS-80 colour computer, which also can be used standalone as a portable audio cassette player. It even has a built-in mic and speaker and can run off batteries (four C-cells).
I assume it was an existing cassette recorder model where they wired up an extra plug on the side that let the computer control the play/pause on the tape mechanism, then included the adapter to the DIN plug in the box.

@mcc
I'm not kidding about having an 8-track player! It was included as a component in a combined AM/FM radio and 8-track player. The radio is still in regular use, because it is an excellent stereo set with an antenna and two good speakers. No modern radio can beat it. Sadly, we haven't seen an 8-track tape in years. But if one should ever fall into our hands, we would be able to play 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 I think I might even have a splice block somewhere in my studio junk drawer.

@mcc Vinyl only. I don't see a point in CDs – when it comes to ease, playing from drive/stream beats everything, so there needs to be a reason to have additional media. And vinyl has the biggest covers, lovely leaflets and looks pretty while spinning.

@mcc I can play cd, minidisc, tape, DCC, reel2reel, vinyl, hdcd, SACD, dvd-audio, blueray pure audio. The prerecorded DAT market was too tiny to bother. If I purchase a needle I can play shellacs.
