I prefer 8-tracks to any other format, certainly not because of their sound quality, I just think they're cool. I don't care much for the excessive wow and flutter and/or "motorboating" from some tapes though, not to mention the locking tabs breaking off the cheaper ones when I have to open them for repairs.
