Cassette player

A cassette player (or cassette deck) is a machine can play audio cassettes. Some cassette players also can record music or other sounds to cassette tapes. If a microphone is built in, there is no need for a separate microphone but in that case the quality of sound may not be so good. Most cassette decks were made in the late 20th century.
