Hi, I looked up the specs on this system. It does not have a cassette player. I wouldn't put it into the mini category either. Hope this helped you out.

I do not understand H. Cothran's post -- North Americans get the cassette player?? I thought it was just the opposite...

I would buy this neat violet sony in a minute if it had a position memory. The last review says it does, but the product description does not say so. Can anyone clarify. My last walkman was great till I ran over it with my wheelchair. I don't think I can blame Sony for that. I need a new one fast!

Oh, yes, it does, and plays them great. And that is why I bought TWO of them...A friend and I both had tons of cassettes and just hated to think of never hearing them again. Any box that plays cassettes is really rare these days.

plays standard hi-8 and 8 mm cassettes. look at the 8mm tapes they sell at any best buy, rite-aid, target, cvs and if the ones you have look like those than theywill play.

The lack of a rewind feature is one reason I have not used this cassette player after I purchased it. I got a Sony Walkman model which is more expensive but much more intuitive to use.

no cassettes are needed; it's all digital and stored in the recorder's memory. I really like mine and find it very easy to use,

No, it does not have a tape deck. It does have an aux input if you want to connect one to it.

It doesn't play cassettes in the unit, but it has an input jack and a short connection cable. That can be hooked up toany device with a headphone output. So it can act as a portable speaker for cell phones, MP3 players, laptops etc.That works very well.

Dave,I had the CD player and radio combination taken out and replaced with the cassette/radio combination.You could always call an electronics place and find out.Hope that this helps.Let me know how you made out

I read the entire manual and it didn't say anything about CD changers find out what kind of plug plugs into your radio from changer or ask stereo shop I think there are stereos that accept CD changers but CD changers are old tech. And may have to upgrade to deck with CD player

Not technically proficient enough to know what MP3's I am using. Some were from out of print vinyls. I will just say that they worked very well and seemd just as nice in my home set-up or my car stereo.Really improved the old vinyls. As for your car, if it is older and still has the cassette player up front, you can buy what looks like a cassette with a line on it. That goes on your Zen and it then plays through your car speakers. Newer cars usually have some small opening for running your cellphone, MP3 or other extra device through the sound system.

I don't see one. It does have a jack for headphones, an usb cable insert. It does have a button saying microphone. I haven't used it so I don't know if it works or not but it looks to be there as built-in. Otherwise it really isn't a bad player or cassette combo.

I am using a simple 5 year old LG Chocolate phone and the sound is great in my 30 year old Cadillac. This Cassette adapter is actually only a connection between your player and your cassette deck. How well the sound comes across really depends on how good your player is and how good your cassette deck and sound system are. And yes, ALL cassette decks make noise. But the music usually drowns out any noise made by the plastic parts in the cassette rubbing together. It has been that way since cassette decks were invented. You should have heard how loud 8 track tapes were!

Lokamaya,I haven't used any cassette players in the past 10 years. But I remember that they be powered by rechargeable NiMH cells just fine. Same thing with portable CD players. The small difference in voltages (between alkaline and NiMH) should not matter at all, because internally the motors are running off a regulated volatge.If you are having problems using NiMH cell in your players, then the root cause could be that your rechargeable batteries are suffering from reduced capacity. Try some Sanyo eneloop (or other good quality LSD cells) and you should see the difference.

Yes. I bought this deck for my father who still has a library of cassette tapes. Had it hooked up and playing in less than 5 minutes.

No it does not. I buy these every five months or so in order to play my cassette tapes which I still use. I've recently stopped as they are very poorly made. They used to be cheaper than for what they are selling for now. Not worth more than $25, if that.

No, I am sorry it doesn't but it has a really great sound for such a small CD and Radio player. I am glad I bought it because I am in choir at church and I sing with my CDs. I can hear all the parts very clearly. I hope this will help, but it doesn't have a cassette in it to play music.
