Cassettes were really a disaster in the car. If you think that CDRs
are highly unreliable, they look like the Rock of Gibraltar compared
to a cassette in a car for a month or two in the summer. The biggest
thrill, however, was trying to play them in the dead of winter. If you
liked loads of flutter as a sound effect, you were all set. Then, of
course, tapes would frequently jam in the player with gobs of tape
wrapped around the capstan, especially with the long-playing
cassettes. CDs get stuck in players occasionally too but much less
often than cassettes. Even if you have to burn a new CDR, its much
faster than making another tape due to a jam.

They worked OK in mine.
