Tapewriter Converts Cassette Recordings to MP3 [USB Cassette to Digital Conversion Device]

We’ve featured a few devices that’ll assist you in converting your old cassette based recordings to digital file format (specifically MP3) and now we have another to add to our collection thanks to this gloriously retro styled USB device known as the Tapewriter.

Offering plug and play convenience, the Tapewriter – which servers as a standalone cassette tape player thanks to coming with integrated speaker – plugs into your PC and utilises Audacity software, which is included with the Tapewriter, to convert the resulting audio stream to MP3 format so, in actuality, is little more than a common or garden cassette tape player sporting a USB port.

Still, if you’re looking to convert your cassette based recordings to MP3, and you don’t already have a tape player that offers a headphone port (if you do, you really don’t need this) then the Tapewriter could see you reliving the music of your youth with the minimum of fuss.

Tapewriter Key Features:

• Record your cassette tape collection directly to PC with the Tapewriter
• Fully functional cassette deck with counter function and built-in 2.5 inch speaker
• Plug and play USB audio interface no drivers required. Audacity software for PC and Mac included to edit recordings
• The volume adjustable speaker allows you to listen to your cassettes or simply monitor the music as you download it
• After you download your music to your PC or Mac you can listen to your songs via any media player (including iTunes or Windows media player), upload them to your iPod or even burn your music to a CD
• It even includes RCA stereo connections and cable if you desire to listen to your cassettes through your home stereo system
• USB connection, RCA In record R-L jacks, RCA Out play R-L jacks
• Includes 9V DC Power Adaptor, 9V DC Power Adaptor, AC Adaptor, USB Cable, RCA Cord

The Tapewriter is available now and will set you back just shy of $120 – which, it must be said, strikes us as being particularly steep.
