Well, different strokes and all that. Personally, I'd take working with open 
reel tape any day of the week over working with cassettes. I still have 
hundreds of open reel tapes with books on them.

It may be superior from a technical standpoint, but from the end-user,
reel-to-reel is a headache I am glad I do not have to endure any longer.

Hello,

Reel to reel is of a much better quality then cassettes was.
It was the preferred thing for audio files, and even now, with the computer
technology out there, there is a engineer and recording friend of mine who
still uses an 8 track machine.

When I first used rfb in 72 it was open reel but by 76 it was half open reel
and half cassette. I spoke with a born-blind friend and she had started with
sound=sheets...Dictaphone disks? Best, Edmund R. Meskys
