If you have one foot in the past (audio cassettes) and one step in the future (MP3 files) then you should consider the Pyle Pro PT-659DU Dual Stereo Cassette Deck w/Tape USB to MP3 Converter right now.
With it not only can you convert your old cassettes to MP3 files, you can also copy from cassette to cassette, if you just love cassettes and don't want to part with them. And you can dub them at normal or high speed. Dynamic noise suppression helps keep tape hiss and other artifacts to a minimum.
You can use conventional metal tapes or for higher quality use chromium dioxide (CrO2) tapes, the formulation that revolutionized cassettes in the 1980s with its higher quality. A handy front-panel selector makes it easy to switch.
When dubbing or simple playback is finished the tape transport shuts down automatically.
You've got RCA line in and line out jacks as alternatives to get music in and out of the device in addition to a USB port to connect to a PC or Macintosh computer. The Pyle Pro PT-659DU Dual Stereo Cassette Deck w/Tape USB to MP3 Converter is the affordable solution to duping cassettes in an age when cassette equipment is becoming increasingly rare.

Comments about Pyle Pro PT-659DU Dual Stereo Cassette Deck w/Tape USB to MP3 Converter:
Both tape decks function as they should. In regular play mode there isn't any issues and as far as converting taps to mp3 files, this part works just as well.The hundred dollar price tag makes it worth it.

Comments about Pyle Pro PT-659DU Dual Stereo Cassette Deck w/Tape USB to MP3 Converter:
Support from manufacturer is non-existent. They didn't answer my call and have not responded to my email request for help. The product did not work as advertized. I had to use a mixer to provide sound, and Audacity to capture.

Comments about Pyle Pro PT-659DU Dual Stereo Cassette Deck w/Tape USB to MP3 Converter:
The product performed reasonably well. However with technology as cheap and simple as they are one would expect a "Remote Control" and where was the product made. As you must be aware there are many similar products with the above mentioned feature, in the same price range with FAR more features.
