I bought this product in the ending days of February, and got it around March. At first it played my cassettes crazily good. With or without an auxiliary speaker attached to it. About two days later I’m listening to completely fine tape and it’s like the speaker for the (untouched) tape player just starts breaking. For the sound to emulate something awful like a distinct stratching sound. Kept stopping and tired to play it back again. But it just keep making that sound but in different timed areas. I didn’t use for a day, and then decided to put a different clean and strong tape. But again, the samething happened to me. Just more into the album that I was listening to.
