The reason that a tape player eats tapes is that the take up reel is not turning, There is a sensor that shuts off the machine if the take up reel is not turning. The tape goes between the pinch roller and capstan which pull the tape out of the supply side of the cassette. Since the take up reel is not turning the tape that is pulled out spills into the mechanism of the tape deck, so if it did not shut off about 2 more inches of tape would continue being pulled out of the cassette every second. There is a mechanical problem on the back side of the tape player. A reel, a belt, or a pulley.
If it will not FF it is likely a small belt.

Logically, if the full tape reel and the empty reel are identical the second must fill at the same rate the other empties and all the tape from the first will fit on the second.

What does happen, however, is at the start the second reel seems to fill much quicker than the first reel is emptying, which is understandable when for any given tape length the second reel will revolve between at least twice as fast as the first reel and probably even faster.

A tape reel that appears to be half full will have much less than half the available tape capacity filled.

Almost all can be played on any reel to reel player, some reel to reels were used on really old computers and I am not sure about those. Hope this helps
