Cassette Player, MYPIN Portable Audio USB Walkman Cassette Tape Player to MP3 Converter Retro with Earphones, No Need Computer Auto Reverse

Does what it say on the tin

Does what it should and I like that you can transfer straight onto usb memory stick. It is a bit flimsy but it does the job.

This is a very good piece of kit. Tape deck will record both sides of your audio tape to an MP3 File on a USB Drive. You just click play and record. Make sure you select play both sides. I record the entire tape as a single MP3 file. Once done I plug the Flash Drive into my PC, using Audacity (a free Audio Editor you can download) I edited the MP3 File into book marks for each song and exported to individual songs. Very impressed the tape deck will run off a USB port. I have a 6 USB port Hub attached to my PC so I just plugged the tape deck into and empty USB port. Comes with a USB lead. Or you can run off batteries. Highly recommended for converting your Old Audio tapes to MP3 format. Slowly working through all my old tapes. Important note, Sound quality will only be as good as the quality of the audio tapes you are playing.

Given the price of 30odd quid, my expectations were not set high. But, on receipt, I was stunned by the very poor quality materials and construction. I pressed on however, and tried to get this to work for me. The tape transport worked ok; including auto reverse. The max' volume is very low and the sound quality through the free earbuds is full of hiss and not at all good enough for most purposes. The killer, was the hopeless bluetooth which simply would not pair with my trusty Sony speaker which has never before (or since) failed to pair with any device. Returned.

Looks great brought to transfer extensive collection of cassette tapes to CDs and to enjoy some old memories of days gone by this just seemed to be exactly what I was looking for looks good sounds ok pretty well priced so am happy thanks

First of all it is great that portable cassette players are being made. My next point would be that it would be better to make them cost say £50 and improve the design. I am assuming here I do not have a faulty unit which I have no reason to suspect I do as this chimes with other reviews.Good.Mechanically fine and easy to use, flimsy but functionalSounds reasonably good through (good) headphone and comparable with a cheapish 90s WalkmanAuto reverseBadAudio analog circuit is not shielded from the Bluetooth chip so very noisy (whines horribly) and unusable on headphones whilst the unit is try to pair.Bluetooth when connected is noisy, low volume and poor audio quality. I could not listen to this and this has been badly implemented.Cannot switch off Bluetooth.My recommendation would be to find the non Bluetooth version of this player which would be reasonably good value when compared to second hand Walkmans which are not cheap and often have worn parts.

The media could not be loaded. Get ready to take a trip down nostalgia lane with this amazing cassette player (children please Google Cassette). It's not the first one I've owned but the previous one gave up in the end after copying hundreds of old cassette tapes to MP3 and only recorded via USB into a laptop. Place that cassette tape in, close the lid and a sturdy click of the play button and boom you have music. The headphones supplied aren't particularly good so I tested with my own and through a small portable speaker plus as the video shows though the car stereo (most cars would be the aux in). It's a cassette tape player so don't expect CD quality but you will get great audio quality exactly like the good old days and plug a USB stick in and you can record anything that's playing (like recording the top 40 on a Sunday Afternoon). The quality of the MP3 recorded using the built in facility was excellent and I use Adobe Audition professionally so was able to clean up and get really good archives. Because this has a USB stick recording facility there is no USB out to record into a PC or MAC. Love it Love It Love It - But remember to have a pen or pencil nearby (Only grown ups that have used cassette tapes will know why)

In principle this is a fantastic opportunity to revamp my redundant tapes and bring back to life my happier days. Battery life is woeful so ensure you have a DC power connector and sit back and enjoy. If you are buying, just add into your basket a DC power connection otherwise you'll be frustrated. Connected to my Bose speaker no issue. If it doesn't first time around, try a couple of times.
