- I think you may be mistaken. If these DID exist, they'd have been as
- cool as the Fisher Price Camcorder, but I don't remember them...

- I DO remember a thing that used a little cartridge-like thing that was
- actually a single-reel tape (like a tiny 8 track) that held one song.
- These plugged into a little player and came in bright colors wit hpop
- music on them. Pretty cool really, IMHO, but not digital music
- carts...
