Mini stereo with tape recorder?

[Cream]

I've been looking for a mini stereo system for my room which has tape recording capabilities because I'd like to record some of my MP3's to tape (yeah, I like it lo-fi ). I was using an Aiwa 3-CD stereo up until the tape decks broke on me.

Google searches provide me with many choices and I was wondering if anyone had any tips and/or good deals to share.

TIA!

Nobody?

What is your reasoning for recording the songs to tape? To listen in the car?

I'm actually working on a project where a group of friends and I will scatter tapes around the city for people to find and listen to. A social experiment, if you will.

I'd prefer a small shelf system such as this one since I don't have much space.
