I used to be a Grateful Dead Taper. I followed them for 2 decades typing their shows to 1/8" metal tape compact cassette using a Sony D6M and Nakamichi Shotguns. I just got this to connect my Sony to a Laptop and feed the analog signal to Audacity and export to 320 bit MP3. The quality of this dongle is absolutely perfect. Even these 35 year old tapes sound absolutely CD quality.

I needed a solution to a very specific problem: I have a few tape playback devices that I was trying to calibrate but didn't want to spend a lot of money on a wow and flutter meter, so I decided to give wfgui (free software) a try. Only caveat was that I had no means of connecting my tape decks to my laptop. When looking for a suitable solution, I came across this gadget that sounded like the perfect fit. Instead of digitizing my tapes, I simply needed a way to input the signal to my laptop so wfgui could evaluate it. I didn't have to install a driver and it was a smooth plug&play installation. I connected my tape decks to the RCA inputs and plugged the USB part into my laptop. Done. Then I selected the microphone as input in wfgui and the signal showed! Note: the calibration tape I used was ordered from Hanspeter Roth in Germany - go check him out!I'm sure it will work for its intended purpose as well but I don't foresee myself needing that any time soon :)

I have a large number of cassettes, recorded over many years from radio stations, mostly rock music and sporting events. Purchased this to transfer this audio to a computer, then download audio to an MP3 player to play while I'm on my exercise bike, working in the yard, etc. I'm happy with the device, downloaded a newer version of Audacity, and have transferred a number of cassettes already. Surprised that my old cassettes still sound OK! (Some, as would be expected, not so good after 25 years...)Two settings that I wanted to have on Audacity was to set a timed recording (so I didn't have to monitor when my 'radio' cassette was done) and also the ability to listen to cassette while it's being transferred to computer. The info IS in the Audacity manual online, but FYI, both options are under the "Transport" tab and it's drop down menu: Transport/Recording/TimerRecord/Duration and Transport/Options/SoftwarePlaythrough/On/Off.I'd recommend this device for simple transfer of audio to a computer. Audacity software has a lot of settings, variables, and tweaks, but it was easy to set up as I wanted it, leaving all other settings as Default.

I had a few old cassette tapes I wanted to digitize, and it's been a circus trying to figure out how to make it happen. Hooking my old Walkman up to my computer's line in wasn't working, so I tried one of those all-in-one devices next, but I didn't like the sound quality. At the same time, I didn't actually want to spend a fortune on audiophile equipment just to do a couple of ancient tapes, sentimental though I was about them.Enter this little device, which turned out to be exactly what I needed. I plugged the 3.5mm end into my Walkman's headphone port, plugged the USB end into my computer, and the digitizing software recognized it instantly. I successfully converted all the tapes to MP3. They sound just like they used to, as far as I can tell. For the use case of "I have an old tape I'd like to transfer to my phone (and preserve before it finishes falling apart)," this does the job and does it well.

Unfortunately this device causes quite a loud ground loop buzz -- much louder than the audio source being played. I wanted to digitize some old tapes, but this is unusable for that purpose because it is defective.

The first one of these I ordered never worked. I wasted a couple of hours tinkering with settings on my PC and Audacity, trying different settngs, connections, etc. with no success. My Win11 PC never properly recognized it as a USB audio input device and what little audio it would pick up on occasion was garbled beyond recognition. I finally gave up in frustation and returned it to Amazon for replacement. The replacement unit arrived a couple of days later in a shipment damaged box but seems to work OK after a couple of test recordings. My PC recognized it right away after plugging it in the USB port and while I did need to make some changes to internal settings it was up and running pretty quick. I'm only giving this item 3 stars due to the wasted time and hassle with the first one, which makes me question build quailty and long term durability.
