To be pedantic, the best way to digitise tapes would be to play them back on a nakamichi dragon using the appropriate dolby noise reduction then recording them at a good mp3 bitrate. That little machine is clever and convenient, but not the best way to do it. Other than that, a good video.
i came across harry potter Cassette tapes on ebay the entire series thought that would be an interesting way to relive the series. so i just bought this player ill reply to this comment after everything comes and i give it a test. oh im gonna start buying so many Cassettes if this works so nostalgic 🤓
just tested this out worked great, i plugged my headphones in and sound was perfect the SD card also is a cool feature so you could also record your tapes as an mp3 file and keep the tapes preserved. you could then replay them many times as you want on the player or the computer. awesome

I have tried recording a cassette several times, and it does not record my tape onto the sd-card. The only sound I get is that bubbling kind of sound Bob mentioned. How to fix this? Thank you.
My SD card when inserted to the tape player says I have 50 files and plays them successfully. However when I insert my sd card via usb into my computer it says there are no files. Any advice?
The quality of the recorded MP3 depends on the quality of the tape, please make sure that the tape can be played smoothly and without noise before recording. Hope it helps.😊
It also depends on how good this tale player is, probably as awful as every other modern player. Notice there were no sound samples, just a disguised advert?
Ok, I've recorded about 5 albums from cassette and this unit works great. The sound quality without any digital editing is pretty darn good. I've recorded a few singles and they sound pretty great on a stereo 5.1 system. The only thing you'll have to watch out for would be to make sure that your unit is charged up to maximum before you start recording because I've heard some lag in one of my recordings when I allowed the battery meter to make it to the last indicator bar.
@@Statickification Thank you very much for your feedback, yes, also need to watch the enough power when recording as well, we hope you enjoy it and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.😊
Thanks so much. The instruction manual wasn't very clear, and your instructions are an immense help. Now to digitize all of my old cassette tapes,
Excellent !!

Definitely not mp3 but yea
I always hated Dolby NR. All it did was kill the high end, so cymbals, etc., always sounded deadened.
That's a bit of a step up in price
Great video
Thank you
I need one of these I have some underground band tapes that I want to digitize just in case

How is the quality of the mp3s recorded?

I purchased one of these today. I'll come back and let you know (honest).

How do you get the SD card out?
Just hold down the SD card and push it in, and the SD card will come out automatically. Hope it helps.
