” The AM radios in modern cars are definitely inferior to the old analog radios of decades past where you could tune with some finesse”
YEP. Those eight tracks were also better than cd’s
I had an 8 track recorder. I refused to switch to cassettes when they started coming out. Had to once my 8 track player in the car died.
Never put a CD player in the car, always used a portable. Now everything is digital and I play my MP3 player in the car hooked into the speaker system.
I still have two eight track players and some tapes somewhere. I did not like the bleedover on eight tracks -———on the cheaper sets anyway ——where you could faintly hear another song besides the one playing.
I like cassettes.
