Unreadable as in the common problem with this type of media where the
oxide has been shedded from the tape in a few spots.
I'm not sure how many tapes there are where I know this has happened.
I might have just not bothered looking at the other tapes and assumed
they would all have the same problem.
Maybe I'll look into the 'baking" suggestions and see if that helps
with some of the tapes that have not yet been damaged.
