Reshow Cassette Tape Player – Portable Tape Player Audio Cassette to Digital Converter, Compatible with Laptops and Personal Computers Convert Cassette Tape Recorder to iPod Format (Silver)

I was skeptical based on reviews read prior to purchasing. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and quality of the cassette converter. The device comes with a USB connector and headphones. The only downside is that the headphones are a really cheap quality, but that didn't make a difference to me as I don't plan to use them. The instruction book comes with steps for using PC or MAC for converting. Directions were simple and easy to follow. Battery life is dependent on batteries or USB plug in. You can use this device for either listening or converting to digital format. Converting to digital format is a lengthy process as you have to listen to the entirety of the song when creating the digital file. The overall functionality of this device is great! I was able to convert a cassette from 1982 and the sound quality wasn't too bad! I recommend this product.

This is better than I expected for the price. When I first tried to play a tape it was a little slow and I could hear a squeaking noise. I decided to open this player up to see what the quality was like and if the gears could be greased/oiled. Three screws on the side hold the back on. I removed the screws and I then used a feeler gauge to separate the back from the player. On the inside I found a piece of insulating tape was leaning against the motor belt. I cut this tape and reapplied it to the circuit board. I also judiciously oiled the tape mechanism wheels and applied lithium grease to the stop/play,FF/RW gear contact points. I noted the motor was larger than I expected and the drive belt was thicker than I would have guessed. The player is designed to last for many hours of use. Update: I purchased a second one of these players and found after opening it up that the insulation tape on the circuit board has been replaced with shrink tubing on some units. This is obviously preferable. I have attached pictures of the two units; one with the the insulation tape loose and up against the motor/belt, and a picture of the second player with the shrink wrap on the same wiring harness. After this maintenance the tape player functions worked smoothly and quietly and the tape played well at the proper speed. I also found that the tiny hole in the back of the player is for a jewelers flat head screwdriver to adjust the tape speed if needed. For the price I knew I would void the warranty by opening it. I have been working on cassette decks for 40 years and figured it was worth a shot. I am glad I did as this is actually a decent player. Negatives: There is a very minor buzzing sound in the headphones when the tape is playing. It is only noticeable when the volume is all the way down. I did not test the USB audio function as I bought this to be used as a Walkman. The buzzing sound was there when I powered the player by the USB port or with batteries

Everything I could ask for for the price. Is it basic plastic? Yeah. Are the instructions perfect? No. Does it work and produce good quality sound? Yes. Does my Mac automatically recognize it as a mic? Yep. Works perfectly for transferring old family audio tapes to digital. Review wants to know about speed and portability. I'm not sure that anyone's using tape players like an old school Walkman, but you could I guess. It's just as big as it must be to hold a tape--and it's only going to transfer media at the speed it was recorded at--which is to be expected.

But then I suppose, what else should I have expected for the low price. But, as often happens I was persuaded by a 4 and half stars rating. And, it also had "auto-reverse", which most of these cassette units don't have anymore. My first complaint is the door, and how it latches and releases. It is very clumsy and user unfriendly. But, I could have gotten past that, except for as soon as I started recording, the auto reverse kept kicking in, and then it kept changing directions. And it took all of 2 and a half "whole" minutes for this to start happening. And from my long experience years ago, with recording and dubbing cassette tapes and such, I know this malfunction is caused by a weak activator, on the auto reverse mechanism. So, as soon as a tape gets a little age on it, these cheaper units have trouble playing them. The same tape worked fine on my regular tape deck unit. But it does not have auto-reverse, which is very important, if you don't want to have to keep flipping your tapes over by hand, to record side 2. Don't be fooled by the "auto-stop" feature, many of these sellers tout these days. Because they all should have that feature. But these days, few of these cheaper manufacturers are building units with auto reverse, which was once almost a standard feature, back in the 1970's and 80's. But I sure wish someone would build a truly quality unit, for producing mp3 files from cassette tapes. I would gladly pay a hundred or even two hundred dollars, for a descent quality unit. But all that seem to be out there now, with any quality to them, are older, mostly worn out looking machines, ND the sellers are usually asking very exorbitantly high prices for them. And it is such a crying shame, That about all we have to choose from that is new these days, is cheap junk. Because these units might work OK if you have a dozen or 2 dozen tapes to transfer. But I have hundreds of tapes to try to process, so this is getting to be very frustrating for me. (End of Rant :) )

Der Reshow Kassettenspieler ist toll in der Anwendung, wirft mich zurück in meine Jugend. USB Stecker rein, Kopfhörer auf und es kann los gehen. Qualität und Preis stimmen.

捨てようと思っていたカセット５０本程がかなりの音質で再生出来て感激だよ、カセットも機械も駄目元と思ったが。但しPC取り込みは面倒で聴くだけ。 ３vの電源ＡＤは付属していないので事前で用意。

Działa.

Super product! Very satisfied!
