I actually tried respooling an 8-track tape using my reel-to-reel deck (because believe it or not, most 8-track tape hubs actually have the slits in the center to actually fit on a reel to reel deck).

The 8-track is named for its quarter-inch tape that holds eight parallel tracks of sound. Just like in a cassette, a felt pressure-pad pushes the tape against a playback head in the deck.
