During this trip to the attic, we'll revisit those 70s machines that go kachunk, [8-track](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8-track_tape) players. We'll discover the history of this format, peek inside a[Panasonic RS-804US 8-track player](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dyEY5WT5wQ), and visit with 'Trackers', who keep everything 8-track alive. It all began with a desire for freedom of choice. Back in the early 1960s, a few people had begun to resent the limited choices they had for music while driving. AM radio was predominately Top-40, with a very limited playlist. FM radio was in its infancy, and most car radios were AM only. Bottom line, if you lived outside urban areas, your options for automotive listening were limited. This restriction was especially felt by truck drivers, who spent countless hours on the road.

This interoperability standard ensures that AoIP gear from different manufacturers will work well together. Although we associate AES67 with broadcast infrastructure, the first project with the standard took place at Restaurant [Nallikari](http://www.ravintolanallikari.fi/en/) in the Finnish city of Oulu, known as a hub for technology and wellness research. Jutel, also located there, completed the installation. Here, company founder and CTO Jorma Kivela explains how it all came about.

Usually these lines were installed by the phone company a few days before the broadcast. Typically, they ran from the remote site to the central office (CO), and from there, to the studios. Voice grade lines were usually ordered, sometimes they were equalized, sometimes not, depending on the distances involved. The good thing about these lines is they provided a guaranteed quality of service (QoS), i.e. if they didn't work, the phone company had to make it right. The bad news was that they required advance lead time with the phone company, and there was a cost for the use of these lines and their setup. If there were weekly sports remotes, these costs could easily add up. Normally this was just added to the sports budget. But there was an alternative for the budget minded.
