SEMIERSmall Cassette Player Recorder, Cassette to Digital Converter via USB or Micro SD Card, Powered by AC or 4 AA Battery, AM FM Radio Tape Recorder with Build-in Speaker and Earphone Jack

I liked the speed at which it was delivered to us (we have a project we have to get into the mail yesterday!) It only took 2 days. I liked that it was easy to figure out - AND THE VIDEO THAT WAS IN THE AMAZON ADVERTISEMENT (LAST PICTURE TO THE LEFT OF ITEM DESCRIPTION) WAS EVERYTHING TO ME as I wanted to transfer files from a cassette tape to a USB drive. Even so, I had to study that tape again after I tried to make my first transfer. So here's what I noticed that other customers commented to:A. I accidentally put the a/c cord into the headphone jack. ..which made it seem like the cord didn't work. So I shifted the cord to the hole below and that was the right one. It didn't fit tightly, though.B. To record from the cassette tape to a USB (it shows almost all of the following on their video):1. First, place your USB stick into the machine on the right side. Slide the right toggle switch, second to the end, to where it says "tape/off". I tried to tape with the switch on "USB/SD" but I got nada. (i found out that button is for you to listen to what's on your USB stick.)2. Next, push the play button on top, where you want to begin, then3. Push the button on the left side of the front of the machine that says "REC" and hold it until the red light comes on, not green. You should then be able to hear the tape as it's recording.4. If you want to make an announcement midway, push the pause/play button on the left front and stop the tape with the stop button on top. Then, push REC on the front left and say what you want to say into the mic. When you're finished, push pause/play on the front left again and "play" on the top to continue your conversion.I'm sure they put all of this in the instructions, but I like to just get started. I hope that helps clarify some points. I think it plays as well as any cassette I ever had. Oh, and when you shut it to begin taping, make sure you press on the top left corner where the sticker says "close here" Otherwise you're going to have problems with the "eject" button keeping the machine open. The "next" button is for toggling between entries.Happy reminiscing!

This worked great for me and what I needed.

There was a very noticeable hum and other background noise recorded on the MP3 file when I converted several cassette tapes to digital format. I followed the instructions scrupulously, and tried everything I could think of to eliminate the background humming and buzzing, but eventually gave up. I wish I could recommend this product, as it looked great in theory. In actual reality, it was a complete failure. I should receive a refund. You should not purchase the product. It would be throwing away money--and time!

ITS GOT GREAT FEATURES with little instruction. I also don't like pushing 2 buttons at the same time to make something work....and the words...press hard the first couple of times....they could have made this simple to use....but bare bones instructions on a road map micro flyer aren't much help....how do I say this...common sense design would have been much better than push play and something else to get it to go.....It sounds real nice...batteries load well....just the right size...but if you have to carry the little instruction flyer with you because how to use the functions are in Morse code....then I don't know.... I'm old school if you want to record...you press record....if you want to play then press play....no have to press both play and record. NOW I HAD A QUESTION ....CAN YOU RECORD DIRECTLY TO USB ... no where in the book is this addressed....why would you have to record onto cassette and then convert it to mp3....thats a waste... I just think the instructions would have addressed...these other ways to record... if you could or couldnt...BUT ALL IN ALL it's a great product even if you have to record on cassette first then convert..... has a friendly price mark....radio is great....can't go wrong

Easy to use! Just like a traditional tape recorder but records digitally. Plug in or use batteries.I am not a techy person at all and had no problem transferring cassette tapes of my dad’s lectures to a format that will last and easier to share and store.

It's nice looking. Lots of buttons. I was looking for Reverse and Forward buttons, and this player has them.I think, I'm not 100% sure if the tapes drag a bit. I have listened to it with and without headphones. I will pop the tapes that I listened to in my two other tape players and see if they sound the same on them.I bought this to listen to language tapes as I walk. I know I could have boughten, and I do own a smaller cassette player, but it does not have reverse. Without it, I have to take the tape out, turn it around, play it, or fast forward it, then pop it back out, pop it in and listen to it again. Reverse makes my life so much easier! I will have to find a small shoulder bag that I can place it in as I walk.I will use it over the next few weeks and see how it plays. If I see that it now drags, I'm sure that it will slow up more in time.The sound is okay for non stereo. I listened to it with head phones too, and though it's not my larger stereo Sony cassette CD player, that by the way early on ate and or stopped my tapes, it's okay.The tapes drag. It's annoying to listen to. I missed the open window to return it. So, now, it being my own fault I am stuck with it. I am usually very good in returning something on time.

The media could not be loaded. I love this little thing! I use it like an old-school portable radio; I have all my favorite songs loaded onto a micro SD card and all it takes to play them is the flick of a switch. This is exactly what I had been searching for: an MP3 player that wasn't tiny, that had its own speaker, and that uses AA batteries (a huge plus for me after an extremely bad experience with a lithium battery). It's simple, cute, and takes me back to a simpler time. I can't speak to the cassette feature because I haven't used it, but the MP3 player function is fantastic. This little guy will be going to the beach and everywhere else with me from now on!
