When the jitter amount is very high, as in very low cost CD players ( 2ns ), the result is somewhat similar to wow and flutter, the well known problem that affected typically compact cassettes ( and in a far less evident way turntables ) and was caused by the non perfectly constant speed of the tape: the effect is similar, but here the variations have a far higher frequency and for this reasons are less easy to perceive but equally annoying.

Although wire was not as suitable for editing as plastic-based magnetic tape would prove to be, in the field of radio broadcasting it offered tremendous advantages over trying to edit material recorded on transcription discs, which was usually accomplished by dubbing to a new transcription disc with the aid of multiple turntables, stopwatches and a lot of patience.
