tape player
Spooled audio device
A tape player is a device that plays audio recordings from magnetic tape, typically in cassette form.
Before digital formats became dominant, tape players were standard in home stereos, portable devices like the Walkman, and car audio systems.
The old tape player in my car finally gave out.
Unlike a tape recorder, a tape player can only play back, not record.
