Boombox MP3 Conversion Cassette Tape Player Recorder AM FM Radio, Cassette to MP3 Digital Converter, USB Recording, Built-in Microphone, Big Speaker and Earphone Jack by AC or C Batteries

Well then, this will be a different kind of review... I'll start by confessing that this device did not meet my needs and it has been returned. Nonetheless I gave it a five star rating as an acknowledgement of the excellent customer support I received. My project is archiving a couple hundred rare-ish music cassettes by ripping them as MP3 files then storing them on the digital jukebox that blankets our home with music. I have been laboriously performing this using a high end Teac deck and the Audible app on a laptop, but the appeal of this little player was strong enough to catch my interest. Long story short, it is completely inappropriate for my purpose. To be fair, it works as advertised, but the quality of the MP3 analog to digital conversion is low grade, unacceptably so for serious archival use. Worse yet, there is a very awkward pause in the Recording To USB process that prevents it from beginning until your tape is already playing music. To begin recording to a USB thumb drive, you must first press PLAY and start the tape, then press and hold a small RecUSB button until a red recording light comes on. The light doesn't come on until audible sound is already playing from your tape. I can only vouch for this on the unit I have in hand, but Customer Support seemed to indicate this behavior was a Feature rather than a Bug. And that brings us to their Customer Support which was excellent! The documentation included a nice cart that provided an email address for support along with the promise of a quick response. I resorted to that immediately and repeatedly to get to the bottom of my questions and the answers were indeed quick in coming, accurate and complete. With that help, I was able to determine that this wasn't going to work for my particular needs, and easily arrange for a refund of my full purchase price. This device worked perfectly as designed, radio reception was strong and the sound quality playing a cassette was acceptable. It's a useful little boombox at a reasonable price. The only dealbreaker in my case wouldn't affect most buyers. The company explained what was going on and they cheerfully refunded my purchase. I have found that to be rare in these troubled times and so I reward this a five-star transaction. PS, I also suggested to their Customer Support that they update their listing to indicate the RecUSB delay. We'll see if they do so. -Grouchy

The radio and tape player worked as expected. What surprised me was the converter for USB. I was going to add sound samples, but unfortunately Amazon won't let me. All my tapes that were originals from 1985 transferred over to the USB with a humming noise when played on my desktop. The humming noise came from the tape. It was slightly magnified during the transfer, but could be easily edited out for a clearer sound. I made a copy of a CD onto a tape back in 1991. Today I took that tape and transferred it to the USB and the sound was near perfect to the original CD. I was also able to transfer songs from my desktop (iTunes) to a flash drive and the music sounded great. This is a great little radio to have sitting on your desk in an office. Video is a song being played off of the flash drive!

I had so many old cassette tapes and didn't want to throw them away, so I took a chance on this and I'm so glad I did! I bought one and couldn't belief the simplicity of operation. No computer, no app, no cables to hook up, etc. Just pop a cassette in, hit two buttons and whamo! you're transferring to mp3! I love also that it can record radio programming and has the option to just listen to the radio only if desired. It is also portable! Battery operated, you can take it anywere. Love it so much, I bought 3 more for family members and relatives. You won't regret it!

Originally, I gave this product a 5-star rating. After all, where can you find a sharp-looking little cassette player with so many recording features at this price? I got it for only $35.99. but it's a bargain even at a higher price. I have tens of lectures recorded on cassettes, which inevitably lose their quality over time or get eaten by the cassette player. A simple, user-friendly way to record these on mp3 format is fantastic for me, and the unit's sound is quite loud. I highly recommended this product. However, after 3 months of daily use, the speakers started fading in and out when using the cassette player. Luckily, I had purchased the Asurian extended warranty for a few dollars. (the original warranty is not listed anywhere on Amazon, and I could not find the company on the web) Asurian dealt with my claim immediately, all smiles and no hassles. and within a few days I had a new unit. Since they reimbursed me for the full price of the unit, and I got it again on sale, so, essentially, the new extended warranty was free. So, the bottom line is that if you like this product, then buy it with the extended warranty. Anyway, in my experience, most boom boxes don't last more than 2-3 years.

Es de muy buen tamaño para el precio que está, llegó muy bien sin ningún daño y llegó completa, apenas la he usado y el sonido no es mi favorito pero lo conecte con una bocina y suena fenomenal, de las mejores compras que he echo

If you are still holding on to old cassette tapes you need this item. It is incredibly easy to use and the quality of the recording is very good. So far I've transferred about a dozen tapes and I have not had any issues with it. Hopefully this continues.

Muito bom. Atendeu minhas expectativas.

buen equipo y muy practico para pasar los caset a usb

Para escuchar la radio. Buen producto
