My partner uses a portable cassette player to listen to books on tape. I have always bought Sony Walkmans and have been very happy with them. I bought the FX281 unit on March 30, 2002, and it's dead already. The tapes don't play and the buttons don't work. I guess if you only pay $[money]you can't expect it to last forever. I'm very disappointed as I type this on my Sony computer - I am a big Sony fan, but my partner doesn't want another Sony Walkman.
