    The CD player stops playing after the 4th song. Couldn't find the receipt and with Best Buys return policy, I didn't bother returning it. It wasn't worth the hassel

    Box said cassette recorder. But only from a played CD or radio in the unit. I needed a vocal recorder for microphone or another machine. Mic didn't work.

    I needed a cheap CD player to use for some background music. This was the cheapest that they had in stock so I jumped on it. It's ok. Still has a cassett player. Does anyone still have cassette? Haha. The sound quality is about what I expected. Nothing great but my expectations were not that high to begin with though.

    The tape player makes drumming sounds off and on while playing a tape. Sounds like the machine is going to explode. Don't buy one.
