User questions & answers

Question:	I need just a simple playing cassette player we are teaching our grandson hooked on phonics
Answer:	I would buy a normal cassette player rather than this one. There are several inexpensive ones that have a built in speaker or headphone plug. I would only get this one if you are trying to convert your cassette tapes to mp3 files.
Question:	how can i get my tape to mp3 converter to work
Answer:	Don't use the CassetteMare software. It doesn't work. Use the Audacity software that's also provided on the CD in the package, then follow the instructions provided with the Audacity software, not the Audacity instructions in the manual provided in the package. That manual is useless. With a little effort, you can convert tapes to mp3s using Audacity.
Question:	Is this product MAC compatible
Answer:	The cassette player itself is MAC compatible. The software that comes with it is not. You will need to use a free program called Audacity to use the cassette recorder with your MAC. After you import using Audacity, you can then either keep using Audacity, or you can use various MAC audio tools to edit the .mp3.
Question:	I assume after casette tape is transferred I can burn CD
Answer:	You can transfer only one song at a time. Then you can burn a CD with as many transferred songs as your CD can hold.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I record from a 3.5mm input Microphone (such as plaing a guitar and playing back
Answer:	Hi Becky, this happened to me. I have a MacBook Air and I was glad to have found what I need which is what you will need. You will need an External CD rom and it has a usb that you then attach to computer, then you will be good to go and have fun with it, but that's what you need.
Question:	Does it come with an AC power supply
Answer:	Sorry. I've never been able to use it. My computer was too old. I kept in for when I get another computer.
Question:	Can you listen to cassettes without head phones or ear plugs
Answer:	It worked with my MacBook.
Question:	Does it record in stereo or mono
Answer:	When you launch the recording application it asks you what kind of tape it is, and if it contains the embedded track information. You can select the default and then tell the application not to automatically split up the tracks if you just wanted one file per side of tape.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this record family talking on cassette
Answer:	This rug pad works great for me. I have it under a fairly thick wool area rug in our living room. It is thin and I think it would work fine on the lower pile rug. We spend a lot of time on the floor and I find it comfortable and it doesn't slip at all, unlike our last pad. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will this do any length tapes? 60 min 90 min 100 min
Answer:	Yes, it could. May i suggest some velcro tape on the bottom of the door stop and top of the door itself. I bet that holds it in place. This door stop comes with sewn in strap, but it only holds the inside corner in place when used on the bottom.
Question:	Does it rewind cassettes
Answer:	Yes, it can be trimmed to fit the door.
Question:	Does it use regular size cassettes
Answer:	Never

User questions & answers

Question:	Once you download mp3 to your computer, can you then burn a CD to use in your car

Again, using Audacity, you can then convert to wav, mp3, or other formats. It does not automatically record to mp3, it records as a digital file, not mp3. So to answer your question, once recorded as a digital file, you can convert to mp3, yes.

The cassette player with auto-reverse. You can choose to listen to music on one side or both sides according to your preferences. Just click the DIR button and it will automatically play the 2nd side, and then put on your headphones, enjoy your music on the go.

How To Convert Your Old Cassette Tapes?

Connect the recorder to your laptop using the USB cable. And plug in the headphone so that you don't have to hear 2 volumes: one from the tape and the other from the laptop. All audio sounds goes from the recorder directly to the laptop if (for the microphone option), you use the USB option. Therefore, if you make a lot of noise at your desk, none of the sounds will be capture in the WAV file. By controlling the volume on the recorder, you directly influence the loudness of the recording.

While you are recording, don’t put anything electronic near the player (cell phone, tv remote, game controller, etc) or it will make a buzzing noise on your recording and you will have to start over.

How to have the best sound quality?

1. use an outside wall charger (not included) or 2 AA batteries to power the cassette player while recording. Be sure to keep it away from your computer monitor or other electronics while you are using it. If it's turned a certain way near a monitor, noise will come through on your transfer. By moving 4-5 ft away from PC area the issue cleared completely.
2. Depending on the age and quality of your cassette tape, you may hear background air or something that sounds like a hum. The reason is the actual "tape" is magnetic and looses it's strength over time. This does not mean the cassette player is faulty. But, with Audacity you can remove background noise and that's a major plus.
3. Use the option in Audacity to monitor audio as it's playing, and experiment with volume setting. If you set the volume on max on the player, it will introduce more noise. Lower it until the loudest sound only reaches about 75% in the wavelength window. That's a good audio setting for mastering in a studio, and the same applies here

Do you have valued records and tapes that you would like to preserve? Converting them to CDs is easy and inexpensive- if you know how!

We have a solution. Director Alan Jeffries has created a video, based on our excellent online tutorial on converting tapes and records into CDs, that gives full details and step by step instructions. It covers connections, proper recording, editing, removing pops and clicks, burning the final CD, and even adds sections on using the XP201 preamp and Maya EX.You can use the same techniques with any software and hardware that has equivalent capabilities.

Director Alan Jeffries found making this video to be particularly satisfying. "Many people are intimidated by the process- recording, editing, burning a CD", he said. "It was both challenging and rewarding finding clear ways to express all this information in a 22 minute video presentation. This video is going to enable people to preserve precious, irreplaceable tapes and records that would otherwise never be used."
