Strange Recorder

[Operator]

What is the Recorder found on the Vastagatan for and how do you play it I tried everything I went to every radio tower I bent to balboa I went back to caravan island I even went back to tangaroa yet I cannot fingure out how to play it

[Sigh-Phi-Guy]

From my understanding, the tapes you find on that boat become written notes because you are able to listen to them. Which is possible with the Recorder. Else you'd just find useless tapes.

no.
the tapes you dig up with the metal detector are just music for the radio you find on Captains Island.
the recorder found on the Vastagan is used ONLY on the Vastagan and then never used again.

The recorder can't be played. Its just a means to "listen" and transcribe the tapes we find in story locations. The tape notes get added to our journal just like written notes do. It has nothing to do with the music cassettes we find when searching for treasures.

No I have it in the journal inventory were you get the special items

Yeah, it ends up there when you pick it up. Its only used to "read" the tapes you find (not the music cassettes). You can't actively use it.
