Yes but it would play ordinary cassette tapes, it was an obvious choice 
for me when my tape deck died especially as they were so cheap, I have a

lot of tapes.  Hmmm maybe if they had stuck to the same media things 
would have been different. I think probably though it was the access 
times  track to track.

Hi Ian,

Regarding DCC Media .... if you can't find any proper DCC media, then a
TDK SA-X cassette will do just fine.  Take the SA-X cassette apart,
drill the appropriate holes in the casing (on "side B" of the case),
re-assemble cassette.  Simple, and works very well as long as it's a NEW
cassette you do it to.  Using an old SA-X cassette that has been
recorded on before (in analogue) seems to result in a lot of dropouts on
the tape which upsets the DCC player.

I'm sure there are other makes of tape that will work just as well, but
I've always been a TDK man when it comes to all types of tape.

Jon
