Her is a Jensen CR-100, it has a 3.5mm "mic" input so I guess it's expecting a low-level mono signal. Probably not what you want but for kids' ears it's likely ok. It was for sure cheap. We've only used the built-in mic which is, of course, horrible, but nonetheless exciting for her to hear her voice and music played back. But I think the easiest way to go is cheap walkman for playback, used full-size deck for proper stereo recording off line-level inputs. Edit: I said "most of which" didn't I. Oops. I'm sure there's some cognitive bias at work there; what I meant was, the single one I have seen does, but only for certain values of 'does'. Sorry!

Whoooo yes this is exactly what I was looking for! Crap ass mono in is no problem at all, they think those post cards that play a 5 second tune when you open them are top premium audiophile stuff. A full size deck is a better solution quality wise but I'm adamant at not having a lot of physical stuff around, and it makes it more difficult for the kids than running a 3.5 mm lead from the ipad to this Jensen thing. Thanks again!!
