It seems this model does not have a recording feature. There's an alternative model from Aiwa with Bluetooth and cassette recording support, but I'm not sure if it's available globally, could not find much information about it online.

It's surprising to see these kinds of retro cassette players still being updated in 2026.

Amazon leads me to believe this may be a rebadged version of this no-brand-name player (with a translucent case for full late-90s throwback!)

Don't they need to sell blank tapes too?

What next, wax cylinder players with Bluetooth?

How to record the tapes, though? I wonder if there is a way to have 2x 60mins casettes (on each side) in modern age - a lot of electronic music sets/podcasts aim for the 60mins runtime.

EDIT: Seems 120min tapes are available on amazon and walmart, but boy, they cost a premium.

My brain (which still remembers cassette players from the 80s/90s) has trouble accepting this.

I would never buy this. But I love that it exists.
