Gracioso Cassette Player Converter, Portable Cassette to MP3 Music via U Disk/SD Card or PC, Record to Cassettes/USB/SD Card via Mic,Cassette Tape Player with Headphone Jack,Retractable Handle

The player works perfectly and the digital quality is great for the price. (I have seen digital transfer equipment in the hundreds of dollars with fine-tuning and EQ features, but this can't be beat!) It's easier to use than I thought! It's literally just as easy as insert tape, press 'play' and hit 'record.' **Note - If your laptop does not have a CD-ROM input, you can download the software from a link included in the user manual.** Anyone with a basic knowledge of editing and conversion apps and programs can customize each recording once the USB drive / SD card has been plugged into a laptop or desktop system. (If you're new to the idea, a quick Google or YouTube search will easily guide you.) My only gripe was that when my product arrived, the box wasn't completely sealed. I checked the contents against the product description page and everything is accounted for, but it just should've been sealed shut. Otherwise, this was a great deal. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to preserve their cassette recordings and music.

I liked everything about this tape recorder. It can record to tape, flash drive, micro chip and record from one to the other and works with the computer. I tried to load the CD for the sound program but it was too flimsy and fell into the vertical CD player. I had to pay someone to retrieve it and decided that I didn't need the feature anyway. However, I didn't mind because the tape recorder worked. It is sturdy. Affordable. Bought two. No problems. I like the white color. The built-in microphone is so good that I don't need a plug-in microphone. In fact, the built-in microphone has crisper sound. No complaints. It's wonderful when something works better than one anticipated--especially since I bought a similar item from another manufacturer and the tape recorder playback sound didn't work after a short time. That one had the convenience of the plug-into-the-wall socket feature. Instead, it has a USB plug into the computer for use instead. It's a trade-off for the quality.

It worked for a short time and then very little volume. I tried cleaning the head and using different tapes and no improvement. I tried the tapes in another cassette player and they played normally. I SEND AN EMAIL TO THE SUPPLIER CONTACT ON A CARD THAT CAME WITH THE UNIT. After contacting the supplier they sent me a new one without asking for a return of the old one. That is great service. If the new unit continues to work without a problem I will change the rating to 5 stars.

I'm a musician and have boxes of music I recorded on cassettes years of live performances. I wanted to copy them onto my computer and convert them to MP3. Yes, I know there are probably better ways of doing this but I didn't have a cassette player and for $38 I figured I'd give this a try. First off, don't think you are buying a plug and play solution here. It's not. And after spending hours trying to get the USB audio out signal recognized on a Windows 11 computer and reading a lot of support articles on the Audacity software forum, I learned that it doesn't work well or often at all with Windows 11. I have MACs also and tried a simple test with Quicktime audio recording. That worked but the audio was just horrible, very low volume and muddy. I was about to give up when I tried going from the headphone jack of the cassette player into the line in of my Windows sound card. That worked and the audio quality is acceptable but I can't hear the output since I'm using the headphone jack, so I have to record entire sides of a cassette at once and edit them once done. Overall, I'll probably keep this since it was so inexpensive but again it's not a complete solution by any means, might work, might not, and if I knew it was this much of a hassle I would have never purchased it and likely tried another approach. I still might.

This was exactly what I needed. For starters, this is a good tape player. (There is no autoreverse, FF/RWD does not auto stop, mono only I think, but this was not a problem for my application). You will need 4 C batteries or a 5V 1.5A USB charger. For purposes of changing tapes into MP3s all I did was plug in FAT 32 format USB stick, start playing the tape and hit the USB stick record button (there are separate controls for the tape and USB stick). It makes its own folder and dumps an MP3 file in there with its own numbering system. You cannot mess with the settings. Everything will finish up when the end of the tape is hit. Flip over the tape, press tape play, USB stick record again and it will add a second file. The first tape I tried did not work well, but it was the tape's fault :p. I will add that I had to re-record 1 tape because although the mp3 file would play, it would not import into Audacity because it was not the correct "format".

I spent a bit of time fiddling around with all the ports trying to input audio into different sources with no success. Finally I found a video on YouTube that explained how to do it. Using the USB C charging port you can connect out with the supplied USB C to USB C cord and digitize with any device. I didn't realize I needed to use that port, as I thought it was strictly a charging port. You do need to install four C batteries since you no longer have a power supply but that is no thing but a chicken wing. I could easily record into my laptop using Audacity. I recorded into my iPhone and iPad using the built in Voice Memos app to capture the audio, and was able to handily export that into sound the sampling app I working with (Koala) and start chopping. I didn't fuss with the USB thumb drive option or SD Card, but it looks easy enough with the extra controls on top of the player. For me C to C was the quickest way to get to my project and it worked like a charm. Very excited to digitize several decades of personal cassette tapes thanks to this inexpensive and useful device. Glad I bought it.

Muito bom ! Ja gravei até uns Rocks antigos na fita . Funciona 100% !

The build and sound quality of this cassette player are impressive. I own a Teac cassette player as well, and this product matches that same high standard, though it comes at a slightly higher price.

Able to record from SD card to cassette . Use it to make my mixtapes . Only in mono . Sound quality acceptable .
