Converting cassettes: I was wondering what's a good cheap device to convert my cassettes (to play on computer of course)?

If you already have a tape deck with line out, you can get the ION Audio Vinyl Forever patch device. It has a fake decorative turntable on top, but it is just a device into which you can plug your actual turntable, cassette, 8-track, etc., as long as your music source has line-out capability. The ION device then sends an MP3 signal to your computer. $20 here on the jungle as of 11/2013.

Hi, there is no fancy electronics in the player. There is a faithful reproduction of what comes off the LP stylus or the Cassette read head sent to the USB line-out to your computer. The work is done in the free program you download from the internet called Audacity. This is very powerful audio control program that will do the fancy stuff you're wanting. I highly recommend the Pyle machine. I have done about 30 LPs and a dozen Cassettes. I'm still very pleased with my purchase.

In orden to connect your cassette player to your computer you have to use the jack port for headphone. Therefore you can't listen what you're playing back unless you change the setting to listen through the computer speakers. An option different than this is using a splitter in your cassette player to connect your computer and your headphones at the same time with better control when to stop the convertion and paying attention to the sound's quality.

Sorry, I do not know. I just plug it into my PC. If your cassette transcriber is similar to the Audio plug in to a PC, I think it would work.

Recommend Radio Shack. Take the cassette converter with you. You need a 3 V adaptor.

The purpose of this product is to convert cassette tape audio to a MP3 format for digital storage.

I don't know anything about channels?? Just hooked it up on my computer and converted my cassettes to cds and it worked great, accomplished what I wanted.

Yes, absolutely. Once you convert your cassette recording to digital, it's like any other iTunes file. I think you just have to make sure it's in the iTunes format (this product comes with instructions to make sure you pick the right format).

Not directly. You would need to copy the cassettes to a computer and then copy them onto a CD.

It does convert cassette tapes also. As I'm typing this, I'm converting one of my old camcorder video cassettes. As for your second question, yes all the hardware you'll need is included.

I have not yet used it after purchasing.....my hope is it will work with cassette recorder to transfer from tapes to computer files. I bought it because it seemed it will plug into any type of music source and then transfer the sound to computer. Good luck.

I believe it can work for books on cassette the same way it does it for music. Hope you will be satisfied with the results; if not, you can always delete it. Good luck!

According to the operating instructions, you can record from a cd, radio, and usb device to a cassette. Yes you can play from a flash drive(I have a flash drive with gigabytes of MP3"s and they play fine). This unit has good sound.

Steve, the recording quality was very bad and we ended up returning the unit. My older sister has an immense album collection we want to convert but we are still looking for a good quality converter and have yet to find one. This has been some years now since we started looking. good luckmc

You can record on cassette from almost any input. I recommend getting the manual and reading through it here: http://www.pyleaudio.com/sku/PTTCSM60/Turntable-Boombox-Multimedia-System---Plays-AMFM-Radio,-CDs,-Cassettes,-MP3s,---USBSD-Memory-Ports-and-Vinyl-to-MP3-Encoding It isn't written very well, but it outline all features in detail.

Yes I have that system. I only used it to convert my cassettes and it worked fine.
