Does anybody have any first-hand experience with these new cassette players?

https://www.wearerewind.com/

One of my daughter's besties lost her dad when she was 5 (fuck cancer) and her mom had to evict her dad's box of cassettes when they moved.
I've kept them in storage ever since. I never knew the dude, but after I went through his tapes, I felt like I did.
She's 15 now, it's time to re-connect her with these tapes.
I don't want to give her a janky vintage boombox that will break and a component stereo/deck probably occupies too much space.

Any tips for an appropriate cassette player greatly appreciated...

Another option, that's even a little cheaper, is the new-ish Fiio CP13:

No idea if it's good, but it caught my eye when it was released.

i've had couple of Fiio MP3 players and they were all very good and feel nice in the hand. If this thing recorded I'd probably buy one.

This is my fave stand for heavy keyboards.

It will hold up a Yamaha YC30 with a Hohner String Performer and an Arturia Mini Brute sitting on top, although It is a little curious with all that on it. It's and absurd thing to ask of a single stand though so I am awaiting the consequences.

I just realized that is the wrong one but I bet it's fine. The one I have has a clutch release up at the top to lock it.
