Cassette Tape to Mp3 Through USB Disc USB Flash Drive Mp3 Converter Adapter Wih USB Cable

ALL IT TOOK WAS FIGURING OUT A FEW LOGISTICS TO MAKE THIS WORK GREAT. The first of this is to not bother trying to run it using batteries as it uses up batteries super fast & it also runs less reliably that way. Once I realized the included cord with 3 USB connections was what they were referring to as the adapter that enables plugging directly into a USB charging electrical outlet, it worked reliably including in no longer running the tape at high speed & each tape then played properly from the beginning. It did take figuring out that the short USB cable was the one the flash drive needs to be connected to & that the USB connector end near that is the one that needs to be pluged into this unit rather than the power source as I initially had that order reversed which had initially looked like everything was working but it would not copy.I ALSO RAPIDLY FIGURED OUT STOPPING EACH TRACK COPYING MANUALLY INSTEAD OF USING THEIR "AUTO" RECORDING MODE ENABLED ME TO AVOID LOTS OF UNNECESSARILY SHORT MP3 TRACKS BUT THAT COULD BE BECAUSE MY CASSETTE CONTAINED LOTS OF SHORT SEGMENT RECORDINGS from excerpts of talks. Hence copying regular music tracks might work fine on their "auto" setting.ONCE PROPERLY SET UP IN THE ABOVE WAY, IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM & has enabled me to copy many 90 minute cassettes super efficiently onto 1 flash drive. And I love the convenience of being able to then load those MP3 tracks into my computer where they can be played & even edited as desired. And I love how easy it was to copy several of my music MP3 tracks into the "TAPEMP3" folder on the flash drive which is where the unit puts the MP3 tracks it creates from each cassette section copied. That way whenever I want to I can play some music as well as my copied cassette MP3 tracks as desired simply by skipping to the next or previous track on the flash drive as well as the unit working fine as a regular cassette player.WHAT MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE IN EASE OF USING THIS BOTH AS A CONVERTER + AS AN MP3 & CASSETTE PLAYER WAS TO use an audio cable to connect from that unit's headphone jack to my portable Sony cassette player's "audio in". That way the sound comes through that speaker's unit so I no longer had to work through the headphones freeing one to walk around & multi-task. Most audio equipment with speakers have the "audio in" option & the 3' $2.71  StarTech.com MU3MMS 3 feet Slim 3.5mm Stereo Audio Cable - M/M  I bought from Amazon a while ago worked like a charm though a longer cable may be helpful if your equipment is further away.AS IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AN INEXPENSIVE BUT GOOD SMALL CASSETTE OR EVEN CD PLAYER THESE DAYS, I'M LOVING THE ADDED BENEFITS OF USING THIS UNIT AS A SUPER PORTABLE PLAYER OF BOTH CASSETTES & MY DIGITAL MUSIC TRACKS OR AUDIO RECORDINGS AS WELL AS TO CONVERT MY CASSETTES TO MORE DURABLE & versatile digital format.

I've have been looking for a simple product to take some songs off my old cassettes and move them to a flash drive. This product is plastic and needs to be handled with care but the transfer is simple, the directions aren't wordy but sufficient, and the quality of the transfer is much better than I expected. If you follow the directions and look at the troubleshooting answers, you should not have any trouble. I haven't used batteries, yet and think that may be a quality issue if the batteries run down, but the USB connection to my computer works well. I can sit with my laptop, plug everything in, listen to the music, fast forward and rewind (remember those days?) stop the recording, remove the flash drive connection to the player and insert it into the laptop and check my songs. A few times it will put 2 or 3 songs into 1 file but that works for me. If you manually record, then I suggest pausing between songs and record when you first hear the music start. This works well to keep one song per file. I am a satisfied purchaser.

The item more than met our expectations. It appears to be a great buy.

Chi-com made crap. Lousy mp3 sound. Decent little cassette player. About it.

First off, when I was searching for easy cassette recorders to record my grandpa's old cassette tapes, I found about 50 brand names for one product. This is the cheapest brand of that one product. And trust me, I mean cheap in a good way. This is an inexpensive version of the one product you'll likely see everywhere on Amazon. Plays pretty decently, currently recording at this very moment, do i don't know how it records. Really just opened it, read the user manual (it has small grammatical errors. You can still understand it however), plugged in everything I needed, started recording. A complaint I have however (a minor one at that) is that the rewind and fast forward buttons have the wrong image on them. They are labeled correctly, but only text wise. They arrows point the opposite way that they should.But other than that minor flaw, great product and probably the cheapest you'll find.

not great quality, but ok, you get what you pay for, shipped fast, cheapprice

Once you get past the laughably translated instructions, this product is very easy to use. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the audio. Obviously, it's only going to be as good as the source, but there was very little tape hiss, and the output files have been very good quality.It really is as simple as plugging it in, connecting a flash drive, playing a tape, and hitting "Record". You can choose to listen as you record via the headphone jacks or not. Outside of it's intended purpose, this makes for a nice little cassette tape player. The controls are mechanical and very solid. It doesn't feel "cheap" but it's lightweight at the same time. If you need to convert a bunch of old tapes, I recommend this highly.

Bad conversion, Sounds worbly and static. Disappointed.
