Well i would say wow and flutter is a property of the device playing the tape, not of the tape itself

Crappy old tape and a warped shell can cause wow and flutter too if the tape is sticking or the reels are binding.

The tape is driven by rollers directly, the reels only pick up the slack.

yes but if the supply reel binds, the tape will wow

Wonder if there would be a preset called "I left the tape on the dashboard too long last summer"

What about device recording the tape though
