Blurb question

[Leslie Johnson]

Does anyone have a good blurb for the playback of an audio tape?

They must have played the same portion of this tape 10 times.

(Whereupon, an audiotape was played back)

If you actually have to transcribe/take down the audio:

(End of audiotape playback session)

I did the above parentheticals, except it was for a videotape that was played ... of a dating service. I did not take down the video. :)

Thanks! I like yours better than what I had. That blurb actually appeared 14 times in a 65-page transcript.

I keep it simple:
(Audio tape played.)
or
(Video tape played.)

Doesn't matter if it's the same portion or not.

I'll have to double check my steno translation for the actual parenthetical, but I write play/play or vid/vid.

I like that one too. I already submitted that transcript, but I'll keep that in mind for the next. Thanks for the reply!
