USB Cassette Converter: just about good enough [ezcap Super USB Cassette Capture] 

Cassettes are really awesome, and I think people should use them more. It's like a little bit if the past.

I was really hoping you'd show HOW to transfer...

I bought one to digitize some 40 year old lectures, and at AU$27 shipped it was great value. I did notice it slowed down towards the end of some poor quality cassettes, but with the better TDK tapes there were no issues at all.

Of course it's cheap and not good material but it does a great job. This player is very cheap in my country and we'll, I don't expect it to be as good as 4 or 5 figure setup

I am using cassettes now. I record them on a bluetooth cassette Recorder and I use a Bluetooth Cassette Player with a Bluetooth Speaker. The Reason is that I don't want to carry my Phone around everywhere. Those cassette Players are a Bit wobbly at first but they play OK after a few hours of Playing. My Tascam Multitrack recorder is Useless for. Recording on to CDs, and the Quality is not Bad on the Tapes with a Bluetooth Speaker !!!

I got the same machine, but after doing 4 cassettes it started clicking. It is like it is trying to reverse the tape while playing. It is even doing it while rewinding. I think it is a useless piece of crap.

Today we just listened to some old Pink Floyd bootleg recordings on this. Noice.

EXCELLENT review / nice job! Great observations, comments, advice. Much appreciated RC.

Hi question, do you have to add batteries before using? I installed the program and put my cassette tape in and presses record and it’s not recording.

crap I bought this thing thinking i could PUT MUSIC ON COSSETS i dont wanna digitize anything i wanna go from MP3 to cossete can it do that?????

According to Techmoan, there’s only one company that is producing all of the transport and head combinations for these little cheapo cassette player and or boom box devices these days. Their speed, flutter, and so on, are really bad in general. If you want to do a good job of converting cassettes, try to find an old servo operated (in other words not belt driven) cassette deck, and connected with a sound card such as a Behringer UCA222, or something of higher quality. A friend of mine has a couple of Nakamichi dragon servo driven tape players that I’ve been trying to get my hands on for a while. Lol

Great review Mate.. i`m a Muso too.. with lots of old jamming tapes .. some were done thru the desk at our gigs.. so they are not too bad .. but the levels are out a fair bit ..i have a good Yamaha twin deck .. so its nice to hear them on that. I have read you can use a Boom box tape player and use the headphone output ? what are your thoughts... this item seems a bit cheap.. i wonder how long before the mechanism starts to slip ? if it uses a belt ..or maybe it doesnt .. but i think that `Slowing might become a problem after a bit of use ... thanks .. it`s great hearing all the songs we played from many years ago...

I bought this from amazone. I have a question can I listen to music on it without connecting it to the USB ?

Sorry I bought this and it had hiss,hum,buzz even when I put play without cassette and it was recorded in audacity. I put cassettes in and old typical walkman that I have bought 20 years ago and they played with crystal clear sound but there is no way to convert these. I took back this cassette player in the shop and I took my money back. Same problem with logilink usb cassette player. I'm looking for a usb cassette player that player will have no noise because I want to convert many original cassettes with greek artists that my parents have before my birth, and these cassettes have not been released in compact disc.

Thank you for mentioning about the cd that I had to find.

Sub-$100, what would be your top choice in terms of this type of device to use specifically to copy to WAV files to PC? Thanks

Awesome, thanks, waiting for mine to arrive soon :)

Honest, down to earth well done. Thank you

Thanks for this vid. Query: To record tracks into GarageBand, do I use the included USB cable to my Mac? Do you use a converter, like a FocusRite Scarlet USB digital converter between the cassette player at the computer/Mac? I tried going directly to the Mac via the USB cable (no converter), but GarageBand seems confused about what to do with the cassette and no audio is getting into a track. Thanks for any help you can render.

O ruim é que não tem entrada USB para acoplar em outros aparelhos mais modernos.

Hello, a bit late to this video. Are you able to used this cassette player as a normal cassette player? Just pop a cassette in and listen with headphones, or do you have to do all that with the computer? Thanks.

Since it has a USB cord is possible that it could hook up to an Android Tablet? I bought an unopened cassette promo single with the radio wersion on side A and three snippets on side B from 1996 and I've been trying to figure out how to convert my tape to an mp3.

Can the device record audio FROM my computer ONTO A CASSETE TAPE? Thank you very much!

vous n;avez rien expliquer comment installer et quelle drivers faut il utiliser, Meci

I only use this to spin my cassette so i can clean them. The sound i crappy.

Thank you I purchased this device , is it possible to increase the recording speed?

Good review! Thanks! Plus: you can have a pretty good Drinking Game built around taking shots whenever he says the word “dinky”.

Having connected the player to the computer I set it to record, but all I get on the Audacity screen is a few seconds of sound and wave image before it cuts out completely. So the player appears to be faulty. I'll be returning it to the supplier unless you have other advice.

can i download a music without a cassete tape?

Can i play music there?

Can I listen to the music without headphone? Just play it there so everyone can hear too

Only talking show how it's connected
