cassette player
Portable tape machine
A cassette player is a device that plays audio cassette tapes—plastic cartridges containing magnetic tape wound between two spools.
Portable versions like the Walkman defined personal music in the 1980s and early 1990s before CDs and digital formats displaced them.
Some cassette players also record; these are often called cassette recorders or boomboxes.
