How about inexpensive portable cd players - convert the tape to cd :) or mp3
on CD
I thought about that, portable cd players with mp3 aren't that expensive.. but the rewind & fast forward capabilities can be tricky. Whenever I try to rewind or fast forward or pause & play these things, I end up on some other track or stopping the play and having to restart. If the audio was put onto the media as one long track, that could get frustrating.
