Hello,

Some of the old stuff works better than the new stuff!!!

Cooooool, I could hook up my cd-to-tape adapter and play cd's on my computer.

[bazooka]

I would if it was cheap.

[Capmaster]

No way. Why go back to moving tape across a fixed head, having to clean and demag the head, eating tapes, etc? :P

[jimmalenko]

Hell no.

I would estimate that I have used my cassette player less than 10 times since I purchased a CD Burner in 1999.

[yoda313]

Hello,

You haven't made ANY mp3's out of your old tapes?????? I have...

Nope.

Is this for data backup like the old commodore vic 20 and commodore 64 computers? Man do I miss those days... nothing like typing out a 200 line program and saving it, only to have it lost on a crappy cassette tape.

Seriously, why?

I can always run a line in from one of my tape decks and record onto my pc that way.

This is just a step backwards.

How about an eight track player?

[sacajaweeda]

If ya got more money than sense, sure. Go for it!

Snazzy looking thing though, ain't it?

Well I suppose if you do a LOT of tape to mp3 transfers it might be useful!

if I could find it for $20 or so, I probably would - I have a bunch of stuff that I still need to transfer from cassette, and the way I have my gear set up, it's a bitch.

Hello,

Though, I have just hooked up a walman through its headphone jack to dub. The quality is good enough to make decent mp3's. I guess if you have an open 5 1/4 drive $20 might be worth it.

Now if it was an 8-track player then you'd have something

[housepig]

Now if it was an 8-track player then you'd have something

you laugh - I have a couple of rare & strange 8-tracks that I still need to convert to digital....

yoda - I've got a setup to do it, it's just a pain, more due to the location of my tape deck than the connections. and even if I have a cassette Walkman (I think all of mine are cd), I wouldn't use the headphone outs for dubbing, I'd still need something with a line-level output.

wait wait! is that real!?

Edit: think geek has them for $150.... no way for that price. I'd be willing to goto $50 for something that uber. If they had drivers for all major OSs

And yes, MSRP is $149.99 (USD ofcoz, not any other funnybucks)

[glockjs]

uhhh..hell no



i thought we were supposed to be advancing in this tech boom society, that thing just set us back a good 15-20 yrs

[CoasterCreator]

No way I would not buy this ...I will never upgade from my 8-track system I have intalled on my compt..

[sacajaweeda]

It ain't that ******* cool now. 20 bucks? Sure. Bring it on. Thirty? Maybe, if you catch me in a moment of weakness in an electronics department with money just burning a hole in my ******* pocket.

A hunna an' fitty dolla??!!!

You better run the **** outta here wit dat silly ass bullshit before I hurt you for insulting my intelligence!!!

[CoasterCreator]

oh oh ..I think saca got a hold of some bad stuff call the agent orange specialist...

[thayne]

$200?!?!?!?!?

[SLICK RICK]

No I would not buy it as I do not own a single cassette.

SLICK RICK....

[thayne]

do they even still sell cassette tapes????

[glockjs]

do they even still sell cassette tapes????

at your local gas stations and truck stops they sure do

[lordsmurf]

Most cassettes were also on LP. I'd rather have the LP.

[NickSaunders]

I have a very large cassette collection...homemade stuff not available anywhere just itching to be transfered. I would probably get it if it handled high bias tapes...which it doesn't. I am still looking for a good single well cassette deck that won't break the bank

[shelbyGT]

I played a tape in my car the other day and laughed at how crappy it sounded. No way would I purchase that thing! Well, maybe if I win Powerball tomorrow.

[Faustus]

I have an old tape that I keep meaning to trasfer to MP3 thats a friends band from back in highschool. This woudl work great, at the same time a walkman and a cable would work great also. But that drive IS cool, its just too expensive.

[lordsmurf]

I prefer walkmen that are designed to have the least amount of tape handling. Most of those players handle the tape too much, and eat the tapes a lot ... this is not unrelated.
