Minidiva Cassette tape to MP3 CD converter PC via USB.

This works fine. I am converting tapes from the 1970s into MP3s. The device feels a little bit lightweight but it's good enough for the price and it does what it claims to. Finding the driver takes Windows a little while but it gets there in the end. There is some noise in the recordings but it's different with each tape so I suspect it's the old tapes to blame rather than this little device. Background noise can easily be removed with Audacity and I've managed to clean up the recordings pretty well so far. I would recommend this product.

I may have had a rogue one as it added the occasional car horn sound to cassette recordings which weren't on the original tapes. I managed to convert about four of my old tapes to MP3 using the Audacity software before the device started to go wild when trying to record - an awful buzz came on whenever I pressed the record button in Audacity and the device was just useless for its intended purpose of recording cassette tapes to MP3. I do intend to order another one as I want to find out if I was just unlucky and got a damaged product as other reviews are positive.

I've been looking for something to get all my old cassette albums on my ipod. This device is very simple to use and looks great as well. It can be used as a normal cassette player but it can also be used to move all your old cassettes on to your ipods and ipads. If you were born in the pre 80's and have a draw filled with hundreds of old music and audiobooks on tapes then this is definitely needed to move them into the future.

I don't normally leave reviews but decided to on this product. Overall its does what it says, records from usb onto a pc/mac. The software Audacity comes on a mini cd. If for some reason the cd doesn't fit into your cd/dvd drive then you can download the software off the internet as its opensource software (i did this as it had a newer release than on disc). I seen a lot of reviews saying about 'tape hiss' this is unavoidable but can be reduced using Audacity. The reason for the 'hiss' is from the cassette player itself when it is running, which i know some people will not like but after doing 6 cassettes i haven't had that problem once i cleaned the recording up. To summarise, if your looking to not break your budget then this product is very capable of doing the job its supposed to do but will need you to edit the recordings to get the quality sound you require. For those who have a bit more money to spend then using a cassette deck with phono lead output may be better, although i have not tested this out to be certain.

I found this item too fiddly to use ,it needed too much clicking on this and that. I would have put up with that except it worked erratically.It would stop registering any sound suddenly. I tried it on two laptops but it did the same on both. It just didn't work efficiently. Very time consuming trying to sort it out. Not for me.

I have ben trying to convert the family cassettes into MP3 for a while, using our old cassette player and Audacity. each one took ages and needed tweaking for hiss, volume etc. then I bought this little beauty. I have done 11 cassettes this week - no hiss, not even needed to tweak the volume. So easy to use. it has made me very happy.

Works well. The sound quality not that good but that may be due to the old cassette tapes.

Works reall well and is almost perfect - you just need to be careful not to place it close to other electronics to avoid cross-talk and interference... but apart from that (which is no big deal, is it?) I love it - I get excellent results saving long-lost voices from oblivion...
