A Nice Piece of Kit. 22 Oct 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this mainly to listen to tapes for some coursework that I do. However, the radio on it is extremely good and I did not realise how improved the new Walkmans are. If you have a need to play tapes and also want a reasonable portable radio, then buy this.

EXCELLENT ! 8 April 2006
By Jussi
I was a bit wary about buying this item after reading the review by the person who said I'd have to be under a radio mast to get a good radio signal. I'm glad I followed the other reviwers - this is a great item for the money. I've already pre-set the stations I need and pick them up very well. Excellent item !

Mum loves it! 1 Feb 2009
I bought this for my mum because she's got lots of cassette tapes - some with music but lots with audio books - and she likes to listen to them in the car ... but my dad doesn't!!! Therefore, this was ideal. She loves it ... she even wears it in bed to help her get to sleep some nights!
