I read the reviews and a lot of people don’t like the recording option but I bought this plainly for the enjoyment of play and listening to my cassettes, once I got it I immediately put some AA batteries in and the sound from the speaker was surprising loud! Put my headphones in a it was clear and didn’t have any issues! There is no auto reverse but that’s alright I just have to reverse the cassettes manually. Playing it out loud with no ads or phones gives me a nostalgic warm feeling of being a kid again and I’m in love! Beautiful color and buttons are sturdy! Unfortunately there is no belt clip but I can just buy one to attach or make my own:) affordable and plays music what else can a girl ask for!

Worked perfectly right out of the box. Know that the printed instructions that come with it are out of date and don't correspond to the interface of the latest version of Audacity. I figured it out, though, and want to share that you go to Edit ->Preferences ->Audio Settings ->Record [Set to Microsoft Sound Mapper - Input]. Click on Recording in the left pane and put a check in the box labeled Sound Activated Recording and Audible Input Monitoring, the latter if you want to hear the song through you device's speakers rather than the cassette unit. Also, the instructions say it saves the music as a 128 MP3 file but if you choose Export you have plenty of format options to save, from WAV to a 320 MP3 file. Once you save your file, be sure to right click on it and enter the metadata if you plan to drop it into your music library.

Like most people, I've switched to streaming services for most of my music listening. I still have a CD player and have kept some of my favorite CDs. I also have a turntable for that analog experience. But, my expensive(at the time) Nakamichi cassette deck stopped working years ago. I ran across a cassette tape a couple months ago that I've been wanting to listen to. But, didn't have a working cassette player. So, I went on to Amazon and found a few cassette players. There was one that was even less expensive than this but it didn't have a built-in speaker. So, I spent an extra $10 and got this little guy. It worked to play my tape of interest and a few others I ran across. The sound quality isn't great, but it's not terrible either. If you plug in some headphones, it's not too bad. There's some wow and flutter, but again, not a deal-breaker. It even has a cable to dub your tapes onto a computer using Audacity. So, is it a spectacular cassette player? No. Is it worth the money? Absolutely! In terms of cost/benefit, it's a great deal.

I bought this to transfer a special 45+ year old cassette tape to MP3. I was a little concerned because I had not played the tape in at least 40 years and had no idea if it would work or if the player might rip it. The tape played flawlessly and the Audacity software recommended in the link in the box worked perfectly. I connected the unit to my computer via the included USB-C to USB cord and it worked the first time. After I tried part of it the Audacity software was having trouble recognizing the unit again, but I just had to go to the Transport menu and refresh the audio input device. After that it worked great. The sound quality was decent on the built in speaker and excellent on the MP3 transfer. Highly recommended!

I bought this to digitize a bunch of cassettes from 50 years ago. It works really well and I like that I can use the power from my laptop instead of betteries.

Worked as advertised. Easy to use and produced very good digital recordings of old cassette tapes into wav files.

It saved a lot of songs and memories from old cassettes. Works great plug it to the computer with free software like audacity.

Can't speak to the recording or converting bc I didn't buy it for that but the sound quality is nice and loud. There's a slight fuzz when using headphones and not much bass on the speakers but that's just fine for me. Infinitely better than my last player. Buttons are nice and clunky too. Bonus for the door being really nice. It's far from perfect if you want computer or phone quality but I can't have that at my job so this is more than enough for me to still jam out.
