That’s what BIC pens were for. You could listen to another tape while rewinding another. Very helpful in the car as most car cassette units did not let you listen to the radio while rewinding. 🙂
This is one of the several reasons why I prefer the .mp3 format. (Also, I can put pretty much my entire music collection on one or several devices and listen to it anytime/anywhere I want. Yay modern audio technology!)
But what about 8 track? There was no rewind, just fast forward and those clunky track selection buttons.
Also 8 track was really only double sided 4 track with a mobius twist in the loop splice.

Running out of cassettes and have one you can re-use? Just put tape over it!
You always make me laugh, Irma. Thanx.
You’re so welcome, Hunter! 🙂
