Trashy item

Review by sellerUser / (Posted on 4/5/2024)

I initially tried using this item to record myself talking, but it produced poor quality sound with a lot of static. Additionally, one of the brand new tapes I used got tangled up in the machine and was completely ruined. In the end, I ended up using my phone, which my kids had suggested from the start. Overall, I felt like I wasted my money on this purchase.

Love it!

It seems that the cassette I have allows me to hear my deceased mother. It works effectively.

Learning to record was difficult at first but very rewarding once mastered

Review by Robert / (Posted on 3/10/2024)

The instruction manual for the cassette player/recorder is lacking, and it took some trial and error to figure out the correct sequence for making a recording from cassette tape to USB flash drive. Here are the steps I use to successfully make a cassette-to-USB recording:

1) Switch the USB/Off-Tape switch to Off-Tape.
2) Insert an empty USB flash drive formatted to FAT32 in the USB slot, ensuring it is secure.
3) Press Play to start the cassette tape playing.
4) Immediately press the USB Square button until the green Record light flashes continuously. It may take a few tries to get this to happen.
5) Note the USB flash drive flashing as it records from the cassette tape.
6) When finished, Stop the cassette tape from playing.
7) Press the USB Square button to stop recording, indicated by the light no longer flashing.
8) The USB flash drive will now contain an MP3 recording in a directory named AB_REC as AUX0001.MP3. Subsequent recordings will be named AUX0002.MP3, and so on.

I rated this unit 4 out of 5 because I had to figure out the recording sequence myself, but the recording quality is excellent for the price, so I still gave it a high rating.

Need to update the directions.

Review by Joe / (Posted on 2/12/2024)

The recorder functioned adequately, but the instructions for recording from tape to USB were incomplete and did not work as stated. Luckily, another buyer on seller provided a detailed and helpful set of directions in their review of the RipTunes machine.

Changing cassette to mp3 works well!

Review by Engineer / (Posted on 1/4/2024)

I was able to successfully convert cassette tapes to mp3 files using this unit. First, I plugged a thumb drive into the USB port and set the USB or OFF/TAPE switch to OFF/TAPE. Then, I pressed the PLAY button to start playing a tape and held down the USB record button. The small green LED RECORD light started flashing, indicating that it was recording. After stopping the recording, I plugged the thumb drive into my computer and found the mp3 files in a folder on the drive. I was thrilled to be able to digitally back up some irreplaceable recordings of my parents from cassette tapes. I am extremely satisfied with this product.
