I think I should get something like this finally. But the price range is enormous!!! Anything from $20 to $200 will get you a playback walkman-type thing. Surely there's a big difference in quality, too, but I'll bet there are some real pleasant surprises at the low end. Does anyone have good experiences with Walkpeople at, say, under $50? A good reliable tape transport mechanism, good sound quality, a few features like Dolby and tape switch are pretty much mandatory I think. I will summarize if there are more than a few interesting replies! -- -Mike Klein ...!ucbvax!ucbmerlin:klein (UUCP) klein%ucbmerlin@berkeley (ARPA)
