Summary: the physical solution

About hacking your tape player to be bidirectional:

Would it be easier, perhaps, to physically flip the tape over rather than try to
retrofit the heads, motors, etc. to play it backwards?  I've seen tape players
that do this (though of course they were built that way in the first place).
