    In 1985, I interviewed my late grandfather for a 6th grade Oral History Project; I recorded our conversation about his activities during the Nazi Occupation of the Netherlands (1940-1945) using a fairly simple tape recorder on a Philips cassette tape (My grandfather was an active member of the Dutch Underground Resistance during World War II). Thanks to this amazing Reshow product, I was able to play said conversation to my mother during a recent visit to the United States. Needless to say, this was a priceless and invaluable experience, witnessing my own mom listen to her father’s clear voice in the present day nearly four (!) decades after it had been recorded. I was able to gift my older sister the same experience, with a similarly beautiful effect. Much to my delight and relief, the quality of the sound continues to be crystal clear (I had very much dreaded that nothing would have been preserved on that “old” cassette tape more than forty years after I had first recorded it; Quite the opposite is true; It sounds like my late grandfather is actually present right in the room so to speak). On deck: Digitizing it for posterity with this all-new Reshow Portable Cassette Player!

    I bought this product to convert some cassette tapes to MP3. It was easy to set up and worked perfectly for what I needed it to do.

    I was prepared for it not to sound great because let’s face it, it’s a cassette player! However, for the price and for what it is doing, it sounds just as it should…like it did in the 80 & 90’s. I really wanted it because I found a few cassettes while cleaning and wanted to hear what was on them and to have my kids hear it too.I liked that you can just have it play without having to wear headphones. It does take batteries or you can connect it to a USB plug to play. You can connect it to your computer for additional sound or an external speaker. Keep in mind the quality of the cassettes. For the cost, it’s well worth it and I am glad I got it because on one of the cassettes I played, I was singing with my daughter who was around 2, who is now 26. Hearing her little voice back then made me feel even more nostalgic. That you can’t put a price on!

    I really like the updated USB-C port which allows me to use it with my laptop along with Audacity in order to turn my cassettes into MP3s. It comes with the necessary cables to make it happen. White isn’t my favorite color but other than that, it’s great!

    I ordered this tape player to use to digitize my collection of compact cassette music. I haven’t listened to these tapes in over a decade and I was thinking that I should try to ensure I don’t lose the music I own. I’m not sure how long the data on these tapes last. In any event, digitizing will allow me to play the music anywhere I can listen to mp3 files. The actual player device seems rather flimsy in quality. I recall some of the old portable tape players being heavier and feeling more sturdy. This could also be because the current device uses components that are far lighter than those produced decades ago. Basically I wouldn’t recommend anyone drop it on the floor. This tape device can play from tapes and record to tapes. The internal speaker is not great for listening to music but adequate to reviewing voice notes if you use the device to record your thoughts. The digitizing effort is pretty straight forward. You just need to plug the provided USB cable into the PC and use software to capture the tape audio. The included manual suggests a few open source solutions. I’m using Audacity. The quality of the digitized music is really good. You can power the device with AA batteries or USB port power. It’s a pretty versatile device and the price point is reasonable for all the things it does. The only thing now is to convince my wife that I shouldn’t get rid of the old cassettes I digitized.

    Review for the Reshow Portable Cassette Player with Built-in Speaker and Headphone Jack, USB C Cassette to MP3 ConverterThis little player does the job in playing cassette tapes, but it certainly isn’t the quality of the old Sony Walkman’s. Keep and eye on the price when you shop for this it seems to fluctuate quite a bit and I would say it offers decent value at it’s lower price points. Grab a decent pair of earbuds when you use this as obviously the includes earbuds are very cheap and low quality. So too is the built-in speaker, which isn’t useful for much more than confirming that a tape is playing or finding the start of a piece of music. A few niggles with it are the fact that it does not have auto stop at the end of a tape; it doesn’t have an actual eject button, you just pull open the case; the tape carrier slot is also loose, and the tape is not held firmly in place until you shut the cover. It did manage to eat one of my tapes, which got quite well tangled around the capstan. It’s only happened once though and as the tape is very old it might not be totally the fault of the player. The plastic construction is cheap feeling, it doesn’t feel that solid.Reproduction of music is decent when played through something else, the speed is consistent, and there doesn’t appear to be any mechanism noise. Curiously I found volume levels could fluctuate when moving the player around while listening, it went slightly lower if laid on its side. The max volume level is not all that loud either. Note, this is lacking any Dolby tape noise suppression, but I was surprised that my tapes didn’t sound as hissy as I expected.I was successful at creating MP3 files of music from my tapes using the included USB cord connected to my computer and the Audacity software. Results were actually quite good.

    This is pretty easy to use, but it’s not without some drawbacks.My first impression of the device is that it’s fairly cheaply made. When inserting the tape, the little clips on the inside of the door don’t really fit a cassette tape, so it flops around a bit when you’re trying to close the door and complete insertion of the cassette into the transport.There is a teeny, tiny little circle that you are supposed to use to see if the capstan is moving, but it’s so small that I can’t actually see what’s going on.There is no auto-stop for rewind or fast forward, so I was unable to tell if it was finished. Rather than stopping, there is still the sound of the motor spinning, albeit slower than when it’s actually moving the tape.The audio quality from the built-in speaker and the supplied earbuds is as terrible as you would expect. The built-in speaker works well for its intended purpose, and if you want better audio quality, use your own headphones.Recording to a computer is fairly simple, but the recommended software (Audacity, a free audio recording and editing app) is not intuitive to use, so unless you’ve had some experience or have aptitude for technical learning, you’re going to find this confusing. You might have better results using the Windows 11 Sound Recorder app, since it’s very simple to use. Audacity is great, but it’s more technical and may be difficult for novice users.The sound quality for the digitized audio is decent. I don’t have the capability to do an actual technical analysis, but I can subjectively say that it’s as good as I would expect for audio cassette quality. I’m sure that a better quality tape deck and digitizing hardware would make a difference, but for quick and easy, this is pretty darn good.The instructions are clear and easy to read, and include a number of different languages.If you’ve got a pile of old tapes lying around that you want to preserve, this device is a good choice!

    This recorder may work for digitizing spoken voice recordings (hence two stars), and they will be good enough for some people, but for music this wouldn’t work well. The quality of the digital output is low, the base is non-existent, and it can only do 128 kbps in mono, which is not stated in product description but is stated in the manual. I am returning this item, it does not live up to the high expectations raised by the description. I guess I was expecting too much from this cheap recorder.

    About 4-5 years ago, I put my fairly large collection of tape cassettes into the basement. After more than a decade of not playing them, I didn’t foresee a time when I would just play them in my stereo tape decks; and converting them to MP3’s didn’t seem like a worthwhile thing to do.Flash forward to today when I see a fairly inexpensive Walkman-sized cassette player that can be powered by usb-c and use that usb-c connection to send audio into a PC where it can be recorded through the free software audacity (that I use anyway to process various audio recordings, such as voice recordings of family reunion meetings or writing group meetings).It wasn’t much money and, if it worked, I might at least save some mix tapes I have that would be far too much trouble to hunt down CDs for. True, the audio quality might not be that great (I recorded most of these off of LPs back in the 80s), but I’m interested in the way to find a convenient way to convert these to MP3s (for ease of listening).I looked up how to use audacity (important tips: set the input level before starting the recording, normalize the loudness after the recording is done). Audacity has a function to auto-label tracks based on silence, but when I tried this on my recording of Suzanne Vega’s 99.9F, it identified “tracks” from fractions of songs that had some quiet moments. So I wound up manually selecting the tracks and then labeling each one. Afterwards, I could export the audio into multiple files, pre-pending a number to each song title.Here are my experiences:* there doesn’t appear to be an auto-stop function when rewinding the tape—you have to listen for it and manually stop it* the quality of the produced audio seemed okay for my expectations* since the usb-c cable provides power, the PC won’t recognize the tape player until you turn it on; but it only goes “on” when you press play
