Did All Tape Players Skip to Next Song?

[grim]

Since we are talking about tape players who remembers this?

[grim]

Oh lordy

[bluedogok]

What?? What players actually did that?

I also had minidisc player....it was suppose to be the next thing...sniff..

RIAA killed that (and DAT) because of piracy concerns, the consumer models in the US had some onerous copy protection schemes on them. When I was in Tokyo in 1996 I went to some record stores and they had more Minidiscs than CD's, they also had stores where you could "rent" a CD or MD for a week like you could movies at Blockbuster.

I still have some 8-tracks and a bunch of cassettes.

It was still the same way when I was in Japan in 2001--and most cars came with dual MD/CD or even MD-only stock stereo head units.
