I also have one of these (it's *smaller* than the cassettes it
plays, so they stick out like an overstuffed sandwich), and the
FM stereo reception is amazingly good--clearly better than fromi
the SONY radio/cassette walkperson.  The only real problem is that
it eats a pair of AAA cells in just a few cassettes worth of
listening (the radio causes no significant drain).  To get any
prolonged portable use out of it, you have to plug in the pair of
C cells pack which the Toshiba folks thoughtfully provide with
the unit.  The teeny, collapsible headphones provided are OK, but
I found SONY phones much superior.
