Reshow Cassette Player – Portable Tape Player Captures MP3 Audio Music via USB – Compatible with Laptops and Personal Computers – Convert Walkman Tape Cassettes to iPod Format

Very useful, especially as I have a back catalogue of old cassettes that cannot be replaced and need backing up to a better media.Its not about digital remastering, its simply about being able to have a permanent backup of recordings that dont exist anywhere else.Nice and compact with an internal compartment for batteries, this really reminds me of my old personal stereo days!Hooking it up to the recommended, freely available software all you need to do is press play and set off the recording on the computer.It can be used as a normal cassette player too for the purists who want a bit of nostalgia.Built well, although it has a bit of a plasticky feel, it hasnt let me down.Ace little device.

Bought this to listen to a great big box of cassettes from way back. It's a pretty good player. Sound quality is fine through the hi fi, albeit with a bit of vintage wow and flutter. You can power it off the usb port and I think that makes it perform a bit better than on battery. Haven't tried the MP3 conversion feature.

Unfortunately the headphone input was faulty so had to jiggle it to get a stereo output in the headphones. The material was ok on the outside, but seemed very flimsy in the inside and where the batteries go. I had to return this item due to the headphone input/output not functioning properly. Cannot advise on software as I didn’t get that far!

It was straight forward and easy to use, it also has a good sound. Couldn’t tell the tapes were 40 years old at all.

I bought this to convert tapes to MP3s and burn to disc; exactly what it says I can do. 'CONVERTS TAPE TO MP3 – Our unique tape recorder quickly converts old cassettes to MP3 format via a USB cable. Also works with laptop CD burners.'OK, HOW?I can play the tapes and listen with ear buds, but where are the instructions to convert to MP3?I'm very disappointed!

Download the audacity free software from the website plug in the tape player, hit record on audacity software, press play on your tape n there you have it on your laptop in WAV form . Export to your music library in MP3 format n burn to disc or USB stick. I'm over the moon with the results. I've got some old dj mix tapes 15-20 years old and it transferred them near perfect. The softwares great when you get used to it it, cut out dodgy bits n fade in and out at the end of tapes . Added bonus it's so compact you can pop it in your laptop bag n upload tapes anywhere at friends houses etc.The only down side it's so flimsy you feel you have to be really gentle with it and I would gladly pay a bit more if they made it a bit stronger. Bin the cd and headphones because there rubbish. I plugged a speaker into the tape so I could hear what I was playing/recording. All in all does what it says on the tin at a really cheap price. ;)

Just what I needed, works perfectly. The instructions on how to use it with Audacity software are very good, ( I already had this software on my PC, downloaded from the Audacity site, so I didn't need the mini CD to install it).Five minutes in, I was recording my old cassettes, great little machine and great value.

Works but the operating instructions could be better written with a printed version. Otherwise one is sitting near a laptop with the downloaded instructions.LP's with several tracks, a nuisance, should have a facility to record one track at a time, then one does not need to tsit with the unit

Received product as advertised

J'ai beaucoup hésité avant de l'acheter mais en fait ça fonctionne parfaitement bien et c'est immédiatemment reconnu par le logiciel Audacity sur mon iMac (Système High Sierra). Sur Garage Band ça ne fonctionne pas ne perdez pas votre temps ! Installer Audacity et connectez votre Reshow il apparaitra directement dans le choix des "source" sous le titre "USB PnP audio". La qualité est franchement bluffanteen format Wav. Pour convertir directement vos fichiers n'oubiez pas de télécharger également le fichier "LAME MP3 encoder" (sur le site d'Audacity) pour pouvoir exporter directement vos pistes sous le format mp3 (je vous conseille la qualité 320kbps).L'appareil étant alimenté par son cable USB vous n'avez pas besoin de piles, de plus l'appareil est autoreverse et possède une prise casque par laquelle vous pouvez avoir le monitoring de votre son

All recordings have a hum. Tried multiple cassettes. The source does not have that hum. Bought a 3V DC adaptor as well. That too does not help. The product works, though. But you’ll have to clean up the recorded audio and even then you won’t get the quality you seek.

Pour un appareil à ce niveau de prix, le résultat est étonnamment bon. Je m'attendais à du pleurage - typique sur les mécanismes K7 à bas coût - eh ben non !Un produit très correct, qui de plus, préconise l'utilisation du logiciel Audacity qui est Libre, performant et multi-plateforme (Windows, Linux, Mac OS)Par-contre, bon à savoir : on ne peut pas utiliser l'appareil comme baladeur portable. Dès qu'il est en mouvement, la qualité du son se dégrade. Mais je maintiens une bonne note car il n'est pas vendu comme baladeur, mais numériseur. Même remarque pour le casque fourni qui est de qualité douteuse.

La livraison s'est faite sans problème, quant au matériel, il fonctionne correctement, léger bruit de fond, mais pas trop envahissant. En revanche, ce petit matériel respire la fragilité mécanique : il faut la manipuler en douceur, j'ai peur de casser quelque chose dès que je fais fonctionner les touches.A l'écoute, rien à dire, le son aux écouteurs est bon et le transfert sur mp3 se fait sans problème et facilement avec le logiciel audacity fourni.Pour conclure, compte tenu de son prix avantageux, et à condition de l'utiliser avec précaution, ce petit matériel est une assez bonne affaire.
