Cassette Player – Portable Tape Player Captures MP3 Audio Music via USB – Compatible with Laptops and Personal Computers – Convert Walkman Tape Cassettes to iPod Format

Utterly useless. This unit is generic and sold with different branding. Look closely at many pictures of cassette to usb and you'll notice it's the same unit. Avoid them all please. Poor build quality, poor audio quality and a waste of your hard earned.

Player came quicker than quoted. Somthing rattled inside on opening but it was only the battery compartment cover, come loose. Buttons and plastic body quite flimsy, play button sometimes needed 2 presses before tape would run. Generally it worked fine for what I wanted as I was giving away all my old tapes but needed to check the unlabelled ones that had conversations on, which I kept. So for £20 it is fine but don't think it would last long in prolonged use. Have not attempted to copy the saved tapes to the computer yet so can't say how well that will turn out. The sound through the head phones was good, though as there is no way to turn up the volume on the cassette some of the voices were difficult to hear. Would probably be better once going through an amplifier.

Seems as advertised and Del on time ok for price, not had time to use it much so cant offer more

THIS IS JUST WHAT I WANTED; I LOVE MUSIC.

as described

Good quality worth the money

I found a 20 year old box of audio tapes, but I no longer had a cassette player. I knew the tapes were tapes from where I recorded audio of my toddler's bedtime routines, and I really wanted to hear his voice again, so I ordered this.This device is allowing me to convert those old audio cassettes into files I can play on my computer, ipod or mp3 player.This device isn't a standard cassette deck - it does not record new audio, or play audio over speakers - it does have a headphone jack so you can hear what is being copied, though.How it works:.1) Install a small software program onto your Windows PC. The box says for Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7, but I am using it on Windows 10 with no issues. An internal paper said it also supports OS for Mac too if your Mac has a build in cd-rom.2) Connect the device to your PC using small usb cable (provided, but you need USB port - and the cable is pretty short, so it needs to be accessible.).3) Open your software program (Audacity) and change a few settings, which the paper walks you through.4) Insert cassette tape into the device and click play (with headphones connected to device to hear what is being recorded). Click the 'RECORD' button in the audacity app, and click stop on both the app and the device when you want to stop.5) The application will allow you to edit the recorded content. I haven't tried to use any of the editing functions other than clipping out extraneous parts of the recording with too much noise, too much silence, or too much obnoxiousness on the part of the parent or toddler.6) When ready to save the file, select Export (which you can't do while it is playing/recording). You can save the output to various types of files. MP3, WAV are the two types I tried. Apparently you can also save as AIFF, GSM, Ogg Vorbic, WMA, AMR, M4A, AC3, or Flac. I have no experience with those, so don't bother asking.

Had about 20 old cassettes from some band rehearsals and shows I played back in the 90s that I wanted to transfer. Checked into having a service do it and it was just too expensive. Saw this on Amazon and figured I'd give it a try since it was so inexpensive. Worked perfectly for my needs. People have to remember that old cassettes just aren't going to sound all that clear no matter what. I knew that this wouldn't magically turn my old cassettes into CD quality tracks. All I wanted was to digitize these memories so they wouldn't be lost forever. Mission accomplished. Very easy to use. I have a Mac and it worked just fine. Used my own recording software. Since I already do audio engineering this was very easy for me to figure out. Was transferring within 5 minutes. But I'd say the instructions are pretty good for anyone who needs a helping hand. The software they provide (Audacity) is very solid and easy to use free recording software that you can also get right off the internet.It's not the most well made unit ever created but if you are careful with it there's no reason you couldn't transfer a whole load of old cassette memories for a fraction of the cost of having a service do it for you.
