Advantages: Compact, light, plays home-made disks Disadvantages: If using battery-power, not long-lasting.
the cassette deck, is purple and the cd player's lid (which opens on the top of the player) has puple edging around it too.
In the centre of the cassette panel is the digital display (you can just about see it in the picture), which shows what track you're playing, or what radio station you have on. This glows orange when in use.
~Functions~
The Goodmans GPS222 plays ordinary cds, and also wma's and mp3s (on disk). It has mw/fm stereo radio and has a single cassette deck. It can be operated by the mains lead included, or by 8 (yes, that's 8!) size C batteries. It has a 2 x 1.5 watt power outlet.
You can record from the radio, or from cd, and it also has a built-in microphone. There's a standard headphone socket, and also an extra-bass button.
The cd/mp3/wma player is fully programmable - so you can set it to repeat individual tracks ...

Advantages: Good price, attractive system, good sound Disadvantages: Doesn't last 12 months!
We treated our youngest to a new CD/radio for her birthday. Her old Sanyo one had broken ? the CD just died after 13 months! So we had a good look around and not wanting to spend a fortune we went for the Goodmans 1002 micro system from Argos. It cost us £64.99, not a bad price I feel. Now available for £59.99!!
The unit its-self is very attractive, being primarily silver in colour. The main unit is 16cm x 17cm and 26cm deep with the speakers 22cm x 14cm x 19cm. The speakers are a pale wood colour with silver covers for the front, which can be removed if you wish and are both 12.5w. It now sits quite unobtrusively at the back of her little desk and seems to take up very little space. This micro system, however, is only a CD/radio, IT DOES NOT HAVE A TAPE DECK. We took the decision that really cassettes are a bit old hat now ...
