Review on ๐ŸŽง Cassette Tape to MP3 Converter: Portable Player with USB Recording for Digital Audio Preservation by Aaron Shaw

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic way to save tapes

At first I was looking for something to play my old audio cassettes hoping to find songs to buy on CD or digitally but I came across this device and for the price It was definitely worth trying. The accompanying gadget software is AudioLAVA for Windows and Mac. I followed a great tutorial. I've used it to convert a few dozen tapes so far and it's worked flawlessly. The quality of the recordings is very close to the quality of the tapes. In other words, there is no noticeable loss in quality. Excellent! Also, this little thing fits perfectly in the small space under my radio. It doesn't have a speaker, but it does have headphones. The sound is great but if you need a speaker. All you need is a cable with each end plugged into the headphone hole on the player and the headphone hole on the radio, it will sound like your radio. You don't even need batteries when you plug it into your radio's USB port. As long as the car drives, it will be. I'm telling you for the money, it's a great little deal. On the station, this is a great product. Out of the box I was able to digitize tapes straight onto my computer. The controls were relatively self-explanatory. The resulting MP3 file was of very high quality. I particularly appreciated the lack of hiss or hiss in the MP3s.
