What the USB Tape-To-MP3 Converter is all about...

Ever looked in a draw at your parents or grandparents house and found a whole lot of strange little rectangular plastic cases – containing even stranger little plastic rectangles with holes in the middle and black spaghetti coming out the bottom? That, Gen Y-ers is a "cassette" – it's the little piece of technology that came between the vinyl record and the CD.

And now – you can finally do something with them again!

The USB Tape-To-MP3 Converter will allow you (or your totally uncool old relatives) to listen to their favourite music all over again! The USB Tape-To-MP3 Converter features a built-in speaker so you can listen to the cassettes direct – no computer or stereo connection required.

OR...you can record your music from cassette to MP3, to finally preserve your most treasured musical memories safely and without loss of quality.

The USB Tape-To-MP3 Converter connects to your computer via....oh come on, look at the name of it, we think you can guess how it connects up! And it comes complete with easy-to-load sound editing software. Or, if you're really looking to pump up the volume you can connect it to your existing stereo or amp using the left and right line level audio-out connectors.

It really is an awesome gift for parents and grandparents who've been hoarding boxes full of dust-gathering plastic all these years. Of course, you will also have to put up with the "I knew these would come in handy again one day" speech. But that's a small price to pay for the sheer joy you'll be giving someone you love.

So order the USB Tape-To-MP3 Converter now – because they'll love it and because you love them.

Customer Reviews

Average Rating

The USB Cassette Tape MP3 Converter is well built and has a good speaker. However, it plays the tape in only one direction (no auto-reverse) and the free Audacity software provided cannot be set to stop recording when the tape has finished (I suggest using the free programme Aktiv MP3 Recorder, which does allow this). The instructions are in very poor English and contain several errors (for the correct instructions, Google on: audacity transferring tapes and records).

"The USB cassette drive is great. Audacity v1.26 was a little hard to configure under WinXP. I had to upgrade the onboard Realtek AC'97 driver at the gigabyte site. The cassette driver manual has a slight error. After the upgrade a USB PnP Audio Device appeared in the Preferences --> I/O Audio --> Recoding Device. This is the device I had to choose to make Audacity work. The quality of the digitized sound from my old cassettes is great." Andrew, Melbourne VIC (Jul '09) Was this review helpful?
