Review: So far so good, not that bad for the most part! - Ok so let me say that I’ve been looking for a simple cassette player for a while and I then see this one pop up being a bestseller and thought, well it looks like a clean enough design and seems to work well enough I’ll give it a try. Before buying this player I noticed many reviews focused on the quality and effort needed to use the transfer function from cassette to MP3, and becasuse of this I’ve read many reviews mentioning of dating software and issues with the transfer quality and in some cases the player itself, and well in my case I wanted a cassette player to just play cassettes and after nearly a week of use so far so good, for starters I wasn’t expecting much based on the description and reviews but it’s not all that bad, the quality isn’t actually that bad but you do notice from time to time a buzzing or hum while playing a cassette at lower volume or when rewinding or fast forwarding very occasionally I may even hear it skip a very small part of the song but it’s not often, overall the quality of the sound is ok and maybe even great at times, depending on the headphones there’s definitely some bass and the music sounds mostly clear I tried the player with a few cassette that in some cases a tape may not play as good as it should as I’ve recently bought some new and used cassette some of which may have not been cleaned yet. When first playing cassettes it sounded like there was a bit of sound distortion or even a bit of a slow down while playing and I at first used the older and not as new cassettes and after that I tried a cassette I recently bought new still with the shrink wrap that sounded quite a bit better definitely more clear and less distorted with seemingly no slowdown (I’ve been using batteries during play) as I’ve jumped from one tape to another it can be a bit mixed here and there with quality but overall mostly usable and a pretty solid listening experience. Secondly I will move into the design of the cassette player itself, overall nothing special has a bit of an 80’s look and a bit of weight to it but not much more that make it feel high quality, mostly cheap plastic with a fake metal design but it works as mentioned as it should for the most part. As for the transfer capability I’m not sure as I’ve yet to try it and don’t intend to as I just want to listen to cassette tapes once and a while. To wrap this whole thing up I got to say I’m mostly pleased descent sound quality 3.8/5 and design 4/5 it’s what I of course expected from the price and it sounds good and like I mentioned even great at times but not much more than that, not sure about the battery life but don’t expect more than maybe a few hours of use. For the future I’d like to see a newer unit made with better materials and better playback quality and an FM/AM radio feature, maybe priced in the ballpark of $35-50. If you need a cassette player get this one but if you must get something better maybe you’d be better of waiting for something better in the future or get a used Walkman (be ready to save up and make sure it works well) for all other people this is sufficient enough and sounds just a bit better overall than expected. (But please don’t use the included headphones there awful)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Has some quirks, but there are work arounds. Still a good product
*by G***S on May 29, 2023*

I am on my 3rd device. I like the way that it works with Audacity, so I keep using it. My first machine, after 7 months, stopped record the 2nd side. It would record side 1, auto-reverse, but then wouldn't pick up side 2. So, I was able to get a refund from Amazon (less a $5 restocking fee). The second machine lasted less than 3 months and then just died. Wouldn't run either attached to the computer OR with batteries. To the machine's credit, I have done hundreds of cassettes as I am digitizing the audio library of a non-profit organization. I also want to respond to Ellen Denham's review and the problem with the 9996 invalid device Error. I did not have this problem with my first machine, but did with the second and now the 3rd. There is a workaround where you can continue to use Audacity if you prefer to use that format. After I open and record a tape, then export, and then try to start another recording, is when I get the error. Workaround #1: Select Transport/Rescan Audio Device and the start your new recording. Shouldn't have to do that, but it takes a second and works every time for me. Workaround #2: Close out Audacity completely and reopen. I have only done this a few times, but it seems to work too. I usually just use #1. I still like this machine, and with the refunds keep using it. Hopefully this one will last longer as I only have a few more cassettes to do. I still recommend this product, just don't overuse it like I did (and be sure to clean occasionally) and with the workarounds being so minor, it is still worth it. I came back to add this. There have been a number of reviews/questions which mention a hissing issue. I would suggest trying the noise reduction feature. First highlight a few seconds of the audio where there is no sound (I use the part at the beginning of the tape, or usually the middle where the tape is turning over), then select Effect/Noise Reduction/Get Noise Profile. There are 3 adjustment things to use but not know how to use them, I just leave all three in the middle and it is fine. After getting noise profile, then select the entire track, then Effect/Noise reduction again, but this time select OK at the bottom. This pretty much deletes the hissing.
