Weren't around long enough? Man, they were around for like 15 years, weren't they? And since they were really the first way to play music (other than the radio, obviously) in a car, that made them pretty important in the history of music. They were also important because they were the first commercially viable use of magnetic tape, I believe. 8 tracks were funky sweet my friend, funky sweet.

a friend of mine's parents had an 8 track when we were in middle school and we used to LOVE to play and dance around [img]wink.gif[/img]
Gawd I hated 8 tracks! Nothing worse than hearing a song fade out in the middle, then a loud KERCHUNK as the player switched tracks and then the song fades back up.

I still have a solo album I recorded on r2r.
I still have a reel to reel in my crawl space somewhere. It was really cool because you could mutli-track with it. I recorded some pretty lame stuff with it. [img]wink.gif[/img]
