favorite for the season. This blu-ray disk also has some
exceptional Bonus Features. I especially liked the alternate

For years I believed that I had no use for a subwoofer,
until I came across some articles that explained how
it significantly enhanced classical music. So I purchased
this Sony subwoofer when it was on sale, to try it out.
It turned out to be true - and brought out things I had not
heard before in the music! It made the listening
experience more pleasurable, and I am glad I made the
purchase.

Turning to Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) for a mystic mindwipe on all who learned his identity, the consequences bring a host of alternate-reality Spider-foes like the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Dr. Octopus (Alfred Molina), and Electro (Jamie Foxx) to his plane-and Pete looks to surprising allies for the cleanup. Much-anticipated Spidey saga co-stars Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau. 148 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

 Everything Everywhere All at Once - 4K Blu-Ray
Everything Everywhere All at Once - 4K Blu-Ray
As she braced for an IRS audit, middle-aged ~migr~ Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) felt a failure as wife, daughter, mother, and businesswoman. It was a heck of a time to discover that she could tap into the abilities of countless variant versions of herself across reality-and that she would need them to conquer a threat poised to collapse it all. Audacious fantasy-action farce from the makers of "Swiss Army Man" co-stars Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, James Hong, and Jamie Lee Curtis. 132 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

i think this is cool but all my cassette tapes are gone . Where can i find cassette tapes by artist

Often your local Goodwill store, and other charity shops, can be a place to find used cassette tapes - generally at very attractive prices.

Can you listen to tapes in the stereo?

I have played stereo cassette tapes in this boombox, and can verify that you get true stereo sound out of the boombox from them. The same is true when tuned in to fm stereo stations, and when playing stereo mp3 files from a usb stick. An added note - the mp3 files obtained from copying stereo cassette tapes using this boombox are also true stereo.

I must transfer short clips from CDs to cassette tape. Can I connect jacks from my amp directly to the tape recorder, and fade-in fade-out?

With the appropriate cable or cable adapter you can plug the output from your amp directly to the AUX Input on the side of the boombox. You can then record to the cassette recorder. There are no controls on the boombox to provide fade-in fade-out, however.

How many hours of airplay does the battery charge last? Does it come with AC/DC adaptor for standard wall plugs? Thank you

The boombox comes with an ac cord to plug it into a wall socket. You use it to charge the built-in internal rechargeable battery. The hours of airplay you get on a full charge will depend on how it is being used: the loudness setting for the speakers, whether you are using bluetooth, whether you are playing or recording with the cassette player/recorder. With the speakers set to moderate volume for a small room and playing the radio I have run the radio for 10 hours with no problem.

Yes you can. You can stream in from a bluetooth connected device, such as a smart phone or a tablet, and record to a cassette in the boombox (or a usb stick, or a micro sd card in the boombox). As noted in a previous answer, you need to adjust the volume of the external device to get a good recording.
