Magnetic audio devices
Tape players are devices that play audio recordings stored on magnetic tape, typically in cassette form.
Common through the 1970s and 1980s, they appeared as standalone units, components of stereo systems, and portable Walkmans.
My old car still has a tape player in the dashboard.
Largely replaced by digital formats, though some persist for nostalgia or lo-fi aesthetics.
