I just received a Tape Project Tape bought on Audiogon and played Reel B last evening through headphones. Somewhere on the web I had read that the tapes were packaged "tails out" and I did rewind the tape onto the empty supply reel before playing it. It played wonderfully and I can't wait to play Reel A through my stereo rig. It would seem that somewhere on the packaging, liner notes, or a sticky note on the tape reel, that there should be a message that the tape comes "tails out". I looked for this before I played it because I wasn't sure if that was right, and I couldn't find any answers on the Tape Project web-site or United Home Audio web-site. Just thought this would help those new to the fold.
