I remember this was a thing that DIY audiophiles did. The VHS tape was very wide and stored a lot of information, so you could get very high quality sound reproduction and also store more music. It was better sound than you could get from a reel to reel machine and far better than you could get on a cassette. But you had to know some electronics to modify your VCR so it only recorded audio over the entire tape instead of using the tape of audio and video.

I bet there's a website somewhere now that explains how it was done.
