This cassette player lasted exactly one week - don’t buy it
My Sony Walkman finally stopped playing tapes, although the radio still works, after many months of books on tape and radio that gets me through housework, gardening and other chores. But, the only cassette recorder I could find when I went to replace it was this Coby CX-49. Halfway through a book and desperate to keep going, I bought it. The radio never gets in my favorite station without static (the old half-dead Sony is about a billion times clearer) and after owning the Coby for six days, I was sitting still in a chair when suddenly the tape starts distorting - turns out that, despite fresh batteries, one of the spindles has stopped turning. And it never started again. Don’t waste your money like I wasted mine. I am now scouring the web for a stash of Sony Walkman cassette players I can buy up and hoard, because Coby is no substitute.
Update (9/7/2010): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

respectable for what you pay
a portable radio-cassette, it passes muster. it was about a month. is decent reception of these stations more difficult to obtain, for example NPR over the hill for example. know-how is what you expect from a player of this cost. My last cassette portable radio took 10 years for half the price, york "product. It works if you do not want to pay hundreds of portable MP3 FM.
