What Are Audio Cassette Recorders?
Audio cassette recorders are electronic devices that are used for recording voice or music onto a cassette tape. They became much less common after the development of digital recorders, which use small memory cards within the devices to record, but audio cassette recorders are still sometimes used for various purposes. This type of cassette recorder is typically very inexpensive. An audio cassette recorder is typically a small device powered by batteries; larger cassette recorders that plug into the wall are not very common. It generally features space for one cassette tape, along with a few simple buttons including play, pause, stop, rewind, fast forward, and record. These recorders are designed to be compact, and to fit easily into a purse or bag.
