I'm 31 and used cassettes, vinyl records, even 8-tracks and never even owned a CD player until they made MP3 CD players and I don't get it.

I routinely spliced and repaired my own tapes even when I was 7 years old and learned the value of backing them up (I had dupes of all my kid tapes). I labeled my blank cassettes with a pen. I recall that I may have wound them with a pen once in a blue moon, but that's only when something was wrong (tape "eaten" by the player/recorder) and, even then, I often just used my fingers. That's not what this is referring to, is it? If so, that's kinda dumb because it was hardly universal.

it's pretty universal. this was the fast way of rewinding cassettes. you stick the pen in the reel and twirl it around like birthday/new years noise maker.
