Recently I have looking to get my first portable cassette tape player. I've been using the family boom box for awhile and it works great but I wanted to get something portable that I can bring back and forth to school. I got a Memorex tape player for Christmas but unfortunately it wouldn't play any of my tapes. I'm not sure what model by Memorex it was since I already returned it. Today I demoed an Ion Audio Tape Express Cassette and that did not play my tapes either. The tapes I tested for both of these cassette tape players were Dance Gavin Dance - Instant Gratification and Meshuggah's promo tape for Chaosphere. Both played perfectly on the boom box and neither one is a peculiar sized tape or anything. I am open to all suggestions as far as what portable tape player is best! I don't want to spend more than $100 on a tape player since I feel like it's not worth it for more than $100. Also if anyone has a good portable tape player for sale definitely let me know as well! Thanks for the help!
