I'll have one more video to follow on this topic in a couple of weeks.
If you want to hear some Playtapes being played - Oddity Archive also made a detailed video about the format recently. https://youtu.be/ryL9egIsQuw

Q) Can a playtape be played in a mail call
A) You'll be able to determine what happens from the section regarding how a Mail Pack plays in a Playtape machine...however here's the info from the other angle....
A music Playtape is recorded on two parallel tracks each taking up half the width of the tape. The Mail Pack records one track that takes up the whole width of the tape. So a playtape played in a Mail Call will play the two parallel tracks simultaneously - you hear two recordings playing at the same time. So whether it works or not is debatable. It plays the audio but in a useless fashion.
