I simply threw it in the trash rather than waste the postage and time returning it. This product was a piece of junk. Firstly, it didn't have a rewind button on it, and secondly, it never did play or work.
I even tried a couple of brand new blank cassettes, and they wouldn't move, even after cleaning the transport mechanism with isotropic alcohol. Well, within a few days, this unit failed. It broke down while playing the 5th tape. COBY CX-C21 Stereo Cassette Player Received this last week after reading all 17 reviews on Amazon. It's back to Sony Walkmans for me. Even the battery compartment is unusually snug. Feels more awkward than the several Sony Walkmans I have had in the past 25 years. I wanted a simple straight forward tape player without a radio, just for listening to books on tape.
Only drawback - no auto reverse, so tape needs to be taken out and turned over. Audio quality is fine for voice. A mild inconvenience for a player under $12. Bought for my wife to listen to audio books, since cars have CD players, and audio books on cassete are usually one third the cost of digital media. It does what it needs to do - play tapes.
It works fine so far. audio cassette player - the player is exactly what I needed.
I was pleased to receive the products timely. The product was affordable and I was able to give it to several of my friends so they could share some of my cassettes. Most retail stores no longer carry this product so it was very convenient to order it.
