What was a 1996 cassette player like?
In 1996 the cassette had a long history behind it and a digital future ahead. Colorful keys, speckled labels and playful finishes were common on pocket players. Portable CD players were everywhere and the first flash MP3 players were about to arrive, but a tape still cost a fraction of either.
What do you see on the PX570?
The chassis is black. The cassette has a white label with fine speckles, a narrow slot between the hubs and black toothed hubs. Underneath, a black tape path carries the head, marked with a small red dot. A flat cable leaves the mechanism and ends at four keys: cream, cream, sage and lilac.
The reels and tape packs animate over the still drawing.

What sound settings does the PX570 like?
With black hubs and a red-dot head, this machine suits punchy pop. Set saturation medium, wobble low and hiss low. The Bass equalizer preset and a pulse background work well together. Switch to Vocal for talk, podcasts and singer-songwriter tracks.
Is the 1996 Cassette Player free or PRO?
The PX570 is a splash of color among the black tapes. It belongs to REWIND PRO: weekly $2.99, yearly $19.99 with a 3-day free trial, or lifetime $24.99 once. Without PRO you still get 8 machines, plus analog sound and the equalizer on all of them.
