cassette players
Portable tape machines
Cassette players are devices that play audio cassette tapes—portable machines that dominated personal music listening from the 1970s through the 1990s.
The category includes boomboxes, car stereos, and the iconic Walkman.
Though largely replaced by digital formats, cassette players retain nostalgic appeal and niche use among audio enthusiasts: I found my old cassette player in the attic.
