To Everything There is a Season....I Guess

This Christmas I decided to give friends a new cd/radio type player for their home It has everything, or so I thought.
When I purchased it I made sure it played cds , the main reason for the purchase. Now this puppy did everything, a AM/FM receiver a cd player and some how even a MP3 player.
I was so proud until they opened the box the darn thing doesn’t play audio tapes, doesn’t play audio tapes!!!!
Sign of the times or should I stop asking Fred Flintstone for advice?
At any rate they were thrilled.
