Do not buy *by on Reviewed in India 28 April 2026* Didn't receive a CD for downloading the software. The sound quality is very horrible.I was expecting better than this quality.Such a bad product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected and proud to own it! *by on Reviewed in India 10 November 2021* I've been searching for an instrumental/guitar solo that used to be at the end of a Soft Rock Collection in the 90s. My problem was - I actually have the instrumental in a 20+ year old self-made collection but I didn't have the player. I've tried searching for it in Google but without success because I didn't know the name/title of the track. Then I finally came across this cute, little thing that solved the problem!I find it a little overpriced, maybe because during my time it used to cost about 500/- to 700/- if I'm not wrong, but that was way back in the 80s & 90s. The sound is ok (I guess you'll know what to expect from 20-30 year old cassettes) but the small hole near the head through which we used to adjust the head is not there (those of you who used to do that will know πŸ˜„). It records in one file as long as you play. With the free software that comes with it, you can cut and trim the converted files as well as add/reduce the bass/treble, adjust left/right channel or volume and many more, it's simple to use and handy. It is auto reverse. It doesn't have a built-in speaker but has an audio socket for a 3.5mm jack for headphone or aux cable. As a whole IT'S NOSTALGIC.
