I get vinyl
I get reel to reel
I dont get this.
Nostalgia lol. Just like how people are liking cassette again (although with a good tape deck and good quality tape cassette wasnât that bad)
Iâm waiting for mini disc to make a come back. By the end of their lifecycle they could hold as much as a cd.
Some folks in the uk still use them to offload redhook cd rips to a smaller medium
Lol
I will give the aesthetic something.
Those chunky cartridges have a feel you dont really get with new tech any more
whatâs a redhook cd rip?
Autocorrect changed it from red book lol
Just the industry standard for cd bit rate and compression

Nakamichi for the winâŚhad a âbasicâ one still cost me more than I shouldâve spent lol.
Tape decks were one of the very few components where there was little to no discussion around what was best.
Nakamichi Dragon and everything else.

I donât really trust anything I read in The Verge since their PC build video, and their childish and heavy handed response to itâs critics.
Being old enough that 8-tracks were what I was buying when I first started, all I can say is no. I have no interest in this medium.
I remember 8 tracks. they where a big deal back in the day. it was portable! you could buy a player like this:
And take your favorite albums to the beach! isnt that amazing! what do you think of that!?
You could also get a player for your car! YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY YOUR FAVORITE ALBUMS IN YOUR CAR WHILE DRIVING AROUND! Fantastic!
You could get a 8-track recorder and make a mix tape! oh lordy! then TAKE IT TO THE BEACH AND DRIVE AROUND WITH IT! oh man it was awesome!
Then cassettes came out
