There's something handy and reassuring about tape. No conversions to make, no computers to mess with. The Sylvania Cassette Player/Recorder features automatic level control and simple 1-touch recording, thanks to the built-in condenser microphone. Piano-key style buttons also control fast forward, rewind, stop/eject and pause functions. There are jacks to accept both headphones and an external microphone as well as an aux input to connect audio players. There is even a carry handle.
