ReshowPortable Cassette Recorder Player with Built-in Speaker and Headphone Jack, USB C Cassette to MP3 Converter, Reverse Recording to Tape, Microcassette Recorder Player, Full Stereo Sound-White

I bought this to transfer a special 45+ year old cassette tape to MP3. I was a little concerned because I had not played the tape in at least 40 years and had no idea if it would work or if the player might rip it. The tape played flawlessly and the Audacity software recommended in the link in the box worked perfectly. I connected the unit to my computer via the included USB-C to USB cord and it worked the first time. After I tried part of it the Audacity software was having trouble recognizing the unit again, but I just had to go to the Transport menu and refresh the audio input device. After that it worked great. The sound quality was decent on the built in speaker and excellent on the MP3 transfer. Highly recommended!

I was working on a video for our church and needed a way to pull some audio off of an old audio cassette. After looking through my options, I settled on the Reshow Portable Walkman Cassette player. After spending some quality time with it, I definitely think I made the right decision.This is a high quality cassette player that feels like it just fell out of 1990, albeit with some modern improvements. To get started, all you need to do is pop a couple of AA batteries in the back and a cassette in the front and you're ready to go. You can hit play and you'll immediately hear sound coming out of the onboard speaker. While the sound out of that speaker isn't going to blow you away, it's loud enough and serviceable. And let's be honest, nobody listens to a Walkman that way anyway. That's what the convenient headphone jack is for. The sound is great for the headphones - or at least, as great as a cassette can offer. And the play, stop, record, etc. buttons all feel nice and solid.To put it simply, it's a great little Walkman. But that's probably not the main reason you're looking at it.You're wondering how well it records audio from cassette to computer. And I can say that it works perfectly. It's got a USB-C output that makes it super easy to hook up to a computer. And it took no work at all for my computer to read it and for me to begin recording onto Adobe Audition.All in all, it was a simple solution. I'd call it the perfect modern tool for audio cassettes, whether you're hoping to record some to a computer or just listen to some old tapes while you go on a jog or do work around the house.

So i've got hundreds of cassettes, a lot of 7" records that i put on tape back in the early 90's, or mixtapes i made when i listened to long-forgotten stuff.a couple of years ago i bought a cheap chinese walkman clone, but the sound was garbage, the mechanism was cheap, and overall it was just junk that wasn't worth listening to.fast forward a couple of years, and i see in the nytimes wirecutter that they picked the best portable cassette players. another unit got highest marks, but it was over $100...insane. this reshow player was was recognized as the best for the money, and it's less than $50. also wirecutter noted that all the brands used the same transport mechanism, so it may not be bulletproof, but i felt like i could trust it to be comparable to any other brand.anyway, got it in, plugged it in, and it works great. sounds really good too, and has usb/etc connectivity in addition to a standard 1/8" jack out. bottom line, i'm glad i ran across this unit, and i'm happy to share this to other folks trying to find a player worth buying in a sea of cheap junk.

Worked perfectly right out of the box. Know that the printed instructions that come with it are out of date and don't correspond to the interface of the latest version of Audacity. I figured it out, though, and want to share that you go to Edit ->Preferences ->Audio Settings ->Record [Set to Microsoft Sound Mapper - Input]. Click on Recording in the left pane and put a check in the box labeled Sound Activated Recording and Audible Input Monitoring, the latter if you want to hear the song through you device's speakers rather than the cassette unit. Also, the instructions say it saves the music as a 128 MP3 file but if you choose Export you have plenty of format options to save, from WAV to a 320 MP3 file. Once you save your file, be sure to right click on it and enter the metadata if you plan to drop it into your music library.

I had a couple of bootleg concert recordings on cassette tape. I no longer had a deck to play them, and wanted to digitize them before the tape gave out. Other options were basically dongles and buying a new deck, so I took the plunge on this device, and I'm glad I did.The build quality reminded me of an old Walkman, only with a rechargeable battery. Zero issues with operation. Playback with the internally housed speaker was minimum, but it worked and was clear, decent on high/mid/lows, and a reasonable volume.Connection to Audacity via the included cable was a snap, and I appreciated the ability to record with a standard 3.5mm output as well. Lossless recording was possible through the included usb-c adapter and Audacity.After a few test recordings to set the levels on the device (very important, don't skip this), I was off. Both recordings came out flawlessly. If you need to save the contents of a cassette tape, this is a fantastic way to do it losslessly. Highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased my Reshow cassette converter from Amazon.I bought it to listen to bible on cassette..Easy and straight forward..Works great and at a great price.Haven't used the converter yet, but the instructions look simple. 5 starsMark.. USA

So far this product has been great and I have zero complaints. Works much better than my cassette player in my Philips boombox which destroyed several of my cassettes. I am now listening to tapes again!!!
