Abstract: A magnetic tape player which includes a tape transport speed selector capable of assuming one of first and second modes during which the magnetic recording tape is transported at a first transport speed and a second transport speed which is 1/n (n being an integer other than 1) of the first transport speed, respectively, a remaining tape length measuring means for measuring a length of time available for recording information to an end of the magnetic recording tape when the magnetic recording tape is transported at the first transport speed, a recording timer for outputting a remaining time signal indicative of the balance between a preset recording time and the length of time actually passed in recording and for outputting a terminating signal necessary to terminate the transport of the magnetic recording tape when the balance becomes zero, and a comparator for comparing the available recording time signal and the remaining time signal with a conversion value during information recording with the magnetic r
