Auto Reverse&Clear Stereo Cassette Player with Detachable Speaker-Portable Cassette Tape to MP3 Converter- Convert Tapes to Digital Files via USB, Compatible with MAC Laptops & PC

I have been through a few of these, but only from overuse. I use them to digitize old computer programs and tapes.This current model has been updated to USB C which is quite welcome, as I needed to keep a USB Micro cable around just to use it.One thing people might not realize, is that you don't need to put in batteries. Something I hadn't realized for a while. It pulls power from the USB-C you plug in to do the digitizing!When and if I kill this one from overuse, I will buy it again for sure.

This is the second Super USB cassette Capture tape recorder I got. The first one worked well for about 2 months, then broke. I got another one — brand new and this one has lasted for only 2 tape to MP3 files. Very upset about it.

This is really cool. I’ve kept some old cassette tapes from music I used to listen too. I bought this because my son (3 years old) broke the cassette player I had, so I looked online to buy a new one because I like to listen to them from time to time and I came across this. I was actually impressed that I can actually upload them from my cassette to my laptop I even got a cool playlist going on now and whenever I want I can listen to my songs. It was pretty simple to use. I just read the instructions and it walked me step by step on how to do it and I was able to get it done. And I’m not a techie person so that should say something but yeah I’m happy that I bought it. It was a great buy and it saved my old school playlist

I found an old box of cassettes from the 80s and couldn't wait to see if they were still playable. I received the player quickly and have been very pleased. It is easy to use and the sound using the ear plugs provided is great. For the price you can't beat it.I've converted a tape and it worked but there are many options so I'll need to play with it a little more to get the most out of it.Very pleased with the purchase.

Why would you want a detachable speaker that doesn't produce sound. The speaker is garbage - it doesn't work - it only makes it deed a bigger space for storage. I would just detach it and throw it away, but that leaves open holes where dust can get into the machine. I did not buy it as a player to listen to, so I will keep it as it does connect to the computer for digitizing my tapes and the headphone jack does work if I want to listen just like the old one I have been using for several years. I am finally down to my last 100 or so tapes and dropped the old one on the floor - it shattered. Also a little disappointed that there is no place for a battery for stand alone power as the old one had in case I did want to use it simply as a tape player. All in all it is much sturdier feeling than the old one, but lacking some features.Update: The seller reached out to me to offer a full refund. I replied that I did want the refund, I will update again when that does or does not come through

Here is my concise review:Pros:1. Converting cassette tapes into MP3 functionality is working as intended2. The bi-direction is a great convenience to use3. Easy to use and connect to Audacity4. Easy to use in WindowsCons:1. My MacOS couldn't recognize the device even when connected via USB2. Came with a mini CD, which I cannot use at all since I don't have a mini disk reader.3. a little odd for the speaker to be playing when I have inserted the headphone into the jack.Suggestion:1. Ditch the mini CD disk since audacity has their website, which is free. This should help save some cost and time.2. Try not to play on the speaker when a person insert a wired headphone into the jack and vice versa.

I have been looking for a good cassett player that would allow me to transfered the contents of a cassett to a digital MP3 so I could save some very old and valuable family cassets for the future. ThIS is the 2nd product that I bought to complete this process and the one that works the bext. The first one I bought didn't work and it was returned to Amazon for a refund.If you want one that says it can do the job and does do the job - THIS IS THE ONE!

Pretty disappointing noise ratio compared to other players using the same pair of good headphones. The max volume is rather weak when listening on any headphones I've tried.The detachable speaker makes it awkward to hold, carry, or set down on a table. The speaker itself is basically unusable, producing very little sound that's 90% white noise. Removing it leaves openings in the back of the device which seems like a poor design choice (see my pic, and note that the product pics don't show exposed circuit boards).Between the awkward detachable speaker and fact that it is very sensitive to any movement, this is not really portable like a Walkman style player. Some parts are also flimsy as a result of fitting everything into a small form factor, but that seems kind of pointless considering you can't really use this as a portable player.
