non-functioning and useless

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not only did the record function fail, it hissed and beeped, making noises while plugged in but not even playing a cassette. My third return to AmazonGo with similar items. I instead reverted to using my II older version of this product, since there seem to be no reasonably-priced cassette-to-MP3 recorders that function.

budget recording

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2011

Verified Purchase

I've been using this Tape2USB for about one dozen tapes so far and thought I'd post a review while I'm busy converting an old Screaming Trees tape.
It seems to do the job, but has several issues. First is that I don't like the hassle of the Audacity software, so I am using the EZ Vinyl Tape Converter software I got from a record player purchase. It's more user friendly and lets me just type in the album and track info. I still need to edit out the one track where I was flipping over the tape and finding the beginning of the next track. But I find that's easier than having to edit and than rename each track one at a time. It puts everything in iTunes.

I use Wikipedia to see the duration for each track and it helps remind me of how long each song is. I haven't heard a lot of these songs in over 20 years and those silent parts within the songs might make me start a new track accidentally!
From those times I can see that the player runs a little fast. Most songs are not nearly as long as the times on Wiki (or on the actual liner notes of the few tapes that include that info)and are usually about 8-10 seconds shorter. If a song is listed as being 4:20 long I will have to click on New Track at about 4:10 or 4:12.
I find it best to start a new song as soon as the current one has ended and not wait to see how long the silence between the songs will be.
Some albums have a shorter time between songs, which is when the Audacity software probably becomes more valuable.

I am recording with the "Play Cro2" button in the ON position, as without it on the tape seems too muddled.

This has been a much cheaper and easier way to convert all my tapes. My home rack-mount Sony tape unit had frozen up and a replacement would be difficult (few places sell tape players of good quality anymore). So I seem to be getting my money's worth out of this unit.
FWIW, I've seen tapes for sale at the big record stores for just $1 while used CDs are at least $7-9. I will try recording a tape version of a CD that I also own and see if I can tell the difference!

Tape to USB Cassette to MP3

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2010

Verified Purchase

This product is not just a 'plug it in & push a button' and it works item as advertised. It took a few hours of searching the manual (at least it had one) and the internet and several trial and error recordings to get it to work correctly. I had to make some changes in my computer settings to get it to record without static. Once I figured it out, it worked very well. The speakers in the unit are minimal and not very good to listen to tapes, but I didn't buy it for that, I bought it to change my cassettes to MP3's and it works fine for that. Once you get the music in the WAV or MP3 format, it can be put on CDs, DVDs or an MP3 player. You can use Windows Media Player, Itunes or some other software to do that. All in all, this is a very satisfactory product that does, indeed, transfer your cassette tape recordings to your computer.

Worked good; made cheap

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

This was the first one I received. It took awhile to learn how to use it, but after I learned it worked great; until the play button broke and would not fully release when I hit stop. I returned it within the 30 day period and received a replacement. When I downloaded the disc and hooked up the machine I started to record again. When I exported as WAV it screwed up the recording and what was transfered would not even playback on my computer or transfer to a disc and play in a CD player. I sent it back within the 30 days and am waiting to hear from Amazon at this time. I am still looking for a way to transfer my cassette tapes to CD.

Worthless piece of crap.

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

The USB doesn't work, and the signal does not show up on my Mac. It doesn't work if I use the audio out into my stereo system either. Monitoring it on the built-in speaker, I found that the tape was not making contact with the heads, and kept cutting in and out. The one time I managed to get a signal into the computer, the signal was very low quality, carried some kind of mechanical noise, and was on only one channel. Audacity is a useless piece of crap as well. If you want to make digital copies of old cassettes, you need to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a decent cassette deck. Period.

I've been searching for something like this for a while now and, after reading all the reviews, decided on this particular model. The sound quality is good -- not great -- but it does the job of archiving all the cassettes I have. It took a few tries to figure out some specifics, but the instructions are pretty basic and easy to follow. It's still working fine after more than a month after countless hours of use and a drop from the desk to the floor. There are probably better products out there with a lot more options as far as "cleaning" up the sound, but for the price and ease of this item, I give it an overall 4 stars. It was a good investment.

don't buy this product if you want to use the usb connection

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2010

Verified Purchase

Before I placed the order I knew, from reviews, this product is not very good. But I'v never expected it can be that bad. As a player is OK. Also if you want to use rca outputs for external recording. But the whole usb part is useless. I could only get very weak signal from the unit (straight line in the wave graphic area of the software), not to mention all kind of interference when I moved my hand close to the usb port on the unit. I sent e-mail (the olny way to contact) to the seller, to ask what's wrong but till now I did't get any answer. In general, try to avoid this product.
