Later I realized that on this site, you have choices of teal, pink, etc., but they are for PLAYING AND RECORDING cassettes, they WILL NOT CONVERT cassettes to MP3s. Be careful what you order. I read reviews mentioning the uncalibrated speed making it sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks and how to calibrate the speed from the little hole in the back, how it chewed up the tapes, how it burned through batteries, etc. You can disregard all those horror stories as not pertaining to the CONVERTER. I specifically wanted a device that had a speaker, as I did not want to have to wear earbuds to monitor how it was going. It does have automatic shut-off at the end of the tape, but if you have a tape that isn't recorded all the way to the end, you will be converting noise, so with a speaker, you can stop the converting manually. I have now recorded more than 70 sides and only had one get chewed and I think it was my fault for not making sure the tape was tight. Thankfully it was about the 3rd one so from then on, I put every side into my good old Sony machine and rewound to make sure the tape was tight, then put it into the converting machine. Also, I recommend using a USB power cable (the jack is not for the USB-C type) to an electrical source for a steady power supply. When I play the converted MP3s, they sound exactly like the original cassettes. I did several tests in the beginning: took the flash drive out of the device and inserted it into my computer to make sure they were converting correctly; the files are sequentially named (TAP0001MP3, 0002, ...) and I renamed them and made sure the renaming didn't corrupt them; I began converting them at the highest volume, adjusting the volume during playback on my computer, but that was too distracting for me to work on other things while it's doing its thing, so I tried lowering the volume way down, and the volume made no difference when it came to playback of the converted file. So, having said all that, here are my instructions for trouble-free conversions -- Have the USB power plugged in, and the flash drive inserted. Set the button on the side/edge to "Tape". Insert the tightly re-wound cassette and close the door firmly. Press the Play button on the side/edge of the device. Then quickly press the Record button on the front surface of the device; the light will begin flashing. If you need to stop it manually, press the Stop button on the side/edge. This has been a long review, but maybe either you'll accept what I've written and dive in, or it will prompt you to double-check some things for yourself. One last thing - of course you can simply play pre-recorded cassettes or record on blank cassettes -- the buttons on the edge/side are for use as a regular cassette player/recorder. The 6 buttons on the front are for the converting process. The Play button on the side/edge does double duty. Review: Transfers on USB are not readable on Windows 10 - Really disappointed considering it’s listed as an desertcart favorite and has good reviews. 1/ Low volume 2/ Poor output quality 3/ No flashing Red light as stated on the instructions and last but not least: whatever transfers on USB DOES NOT transfer as WAV, they transfer in unrecognizable unusable format. β€”- and the two AA batteries are not included.

The player eats batteries like popcorn. Batteries only last for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Have to take the batteries out after a half hour use and put back when ready to use again or the batteries go dead. Not a good buy. **Q: what kind of cassette type does it work with** A: Type I tapes. Anything made for cassette tapes after 2010 are gonna play type I tapes. **Q: Can this record am/fm radio? Record while listening to songs** A: The above answer is incorrect. The cassette player WILL and does easily record the function of the am/fm radio over to the cassette while the mode select switch is in the β€œRadio” function, and the record + play button are depressed with a blank tape inside it. I just tested it with mine after reading this question and it recorded the radio to my type 1 cassette. May not work on chrome or metal however, not sure. **Q: What is the function of the VAS switch** A: Hi, V.A.S. stands for voice activated system. When this button is pressed, the tape will automatically start rolling and recording with voice or environmental sound exceeds certain db level. Also, the recording will automatically stop when sound is under certain db level. This function will help to save tapes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's easier than the instructions indicate. *by N***E on January 20, 2022* I read reviews for several CONVERTERS and decided on this one in spite of the very confusing reviews.

Too good to be true! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ digitizing old cassettes *by D***G on June 1, 2023* At first I thought it wasn't working, so here's a tip: Don't press the record button too hard! I was leaning on it just a touch too long. Now it's working, and transfers tape to Mp3 with a minimum of fuss and botheration. Sound quality has considerable distortion on the high end, otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. So far, so good. I hope it doesn't break easily. This is the third converter machine I've tried. The first one didn't work at all, the second one recorded to an SD card but only worked once, then couldn't read the card anymore (there was nothing wrong with the card; my laptop could read it just fine). This one records to a thumb drive and hasn't broken yet... wish me luck. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/206726892-byronstatics-portable-cassette-players-walkman-cassette-player-convert-to-mp3](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/206726892-byronstatics-portable-cassette-players-walkman-cassette-player-convert-to-mp3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
