ION Tape Express USB Cassette Archiver Review

 

USB turntables have been fairly popular with boomers clamoring to get their vinyl gold transferred to digital MP3, but the lowly cassette tape has not been shown nearly as much love. The cassette tape may not have the same audiophile reputation that...

Hassle free transfer of cassette tape tracks to MP3 ; Auto reverse means no flipping the tape over during dubbing process ; Automatic track detection (Windows only) ; Adjustments for chrome or normal tapes ; Can operate as a stand alone tape player ;...

Track detection not always reliable ; No track detection available on Macs ; Limited to one import format (Windows only) ; Included headphones are small and uncomfortable ; Poor placement/design of eject switch

For those serious about their music collection...

 

This cassette converter was something I'd wanted for awhile but couldn't find. When I saw it I couldn't wait to order. After getting it home, it seemed complicated to use. When I took into account how many tapes I wanted to convert, the price and just...
