Great cassette player for transferring old cassettes to PC
I'm a lawyer and recently started working on a criminal case where the crime occurred in the mid-1990's when everyone was still using cassette tapes. When I got the file, guess what? There were a ton of cassette tapes! Well, I haven't had a cassette tape player in years and I wanted to digitize the tapes so I could listen to them on my computer.So I bought this bad-boy. It's simply a basic cassette player with a radio, It's not stereo, but for my needs that was fine. So I plugged a cord into the headset jack and ran it to the microphone jack in my computer. I used Audacity, an open source program for making and managing recordings on the computer, and copied the tapes that way. Worked perfectly for my needs.I didn't really test out the radio too much, but it did pick up local stations fairly well and the sound is good for a mono speaker.I was really expecting it to be a piece of junk, but I am pleased with this purchase. If you need a basic cassette player, this is one to consider.One more thing, it has a cord for AC use that you can store in the battery compartment. It can also use batteries, It uses 4 D cells.

Works just fine. I found a box of cassettes and wanted to listen to them. I didn’t have a cassette tape player. This radio was just right.

Blast from the Past!
The Jaras JJ-2618 Limited Edition Cassette Tape Player/Recorder is a blast from the past! I never thought I would be listening to cassette tapes again, but my husband still had some tucked away that we dug out.The Jaras Cassette Tape Player seems like it's well made. I plugged in the power cord (included) and listened to the radio and cassette tapes. It didn't even "eat" the cassette tape! The sound was good. It can also be powered by C batteries (not included). There is a jack to plug in headphones (not included). All the buttons and controls seems to work well. It's fun having a radio that you have to turn the dial, just like when I was a kid.This is a great product for anyone who still has cassette tapes and would like to listen to them!I received the Jaras JJ-2618 Limited Edition Cassette Player/Recorder at a discount for my honest, unbiased review, which I have given to help assist other buyers in making informed purchasing decisions. If you have questions about this product or review, please leave a comment and I'll answer it to the best of my ability.

this product description is misleading.
I bought this product because it can record the cassette. I could not figure out how it can record, because there is not detail manual, only about the buttons and mic. etc. I contact by chatting the rep. they 1st person started chatting said she will transfer to another rep. who can solve my problem after retyping shew transfer to me to 3rd person. Asking the same questions. Everybody keep transferring and asking from the same repeated question. I got mad and and wrote if you guys do not know any answer then pl. stop hear. Finally he said I can refund to you. If I wanted the refund then why would I waste my time to know keep answering their questions this takes lot of my time since my typing is slow and they takes their time to reply. I do not like the product does not comply the description and there is no detail manual. I gave one star because there is no half star or fraction of one point.

Does the job well?
I bought this for my kids to listen to old cassettes with. They have went through so many tape players, and I decided to try something different in hopes of it lasting a little longer. It’s had one week of heavy use and still working fine. Sound is clear, and good for a tape player. If it is still working after one year, I will be delighted! Time will tell.

Great sound and a great price !
I have a lot of tapes and all my machines were so old the belts broke. This saved my sanity with the beautiful sound that comes out. Nothing is repaired anymore, new is cheaper and sometimes better, like this machine is.

It's as good as I expected for very old technology. I was just happy to find something.
I have a friend with some very old cassettes she could not play, including voice recordings of relatives who had past on. She wanted to be able to listen to them and this player did the job. I wasn't expecting much from very old technology and this wasn't great, but did exceed my expectations and seems to work quite well. While the sound is not great, having lived in the 60s and 70s, it's as good as it was then, so I'm pleased with the product, especially given the low cost. It's a good value and suited my needs.
