Aug 10, 2011 - I only got it free once, on 8 track, and it still works, despite where i found it at...

shoprat17 Says:

Aug 10, 2011 - Heck I got piles of carts and players (as well as reel to reel, cassette, and vinyls) I use them all but I'm most fascinated by the 8 track. Ive got cassettes and 8 tracks as well as players for both well over 30 years old and they still work great! I'd love to see a ho chi minh made ipod or droid be working 30 years from now, and I'll still probably have analog stuff that still works (unless I'm dead by then...)

Aug 23, 2011 - I bought a 2005 Hyuandai....with a freakin broken CD player....that just spits the C.D.s back out, as fast as you inset them... I call it my "Virgin" C.D player...LOL! I am now planning on installing and XM radio system. But I do remember the 8 tracks. I also remember the cheap cassette stereo player in my first car that ate tapes like a bum on a bologna sandwich.

Oct 1, 2011 - Keep telling yourself that. For most of us with normally priced stereos, vinyl always sounded like crap. For 99% of us CDs gave us far better audio than what we had at home for the average needle drop. CD didn't take over because it sounded worse, for most of us with department store grade audio equipment, cd was a HUGE step up!

Oct 2, 2011 - And that was like paying $500. in today's money for a 3 watt sound system, neat.
