The 8-track tape is a magnetic tape sound recording technology that plays audio by moving a continuous loop of tape past a set of playback heads. It features eight parallel tracks of audio, grouped into four stereo programs, allowing for the playback of music without the need to flip the tape. The tape is housed in a plastic cartridge that makes it easy to insert and remove from a player. When a listener selects a program, the tape moves to the corresponding track, allowing for uninterrupted playback until the end of the loop.
