SEMIER Small 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, then 3. 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!

Works great! Perfect to listen to cassette tapes and easy to transfer audio from cassette to MP3. I’m recovering some spoken-word oral history recordings. The sound quality is good. Looks cute, compact size, and works well.

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

Do not buy this product! I bought it to digitize about 20 old cassette tapes of performance music and family "interviews". I used a USB thumb drive to capture the recording then transfer it to my desktop. It worked for about eight tapes, though a few times I received an error message when I plugged the thumbdrive into the PC and had to redo the transfer to the thumbdrive. Then it just stopped recording to the thmbdrive altogether. I tried a brand new thumbdrive to no avail. Also, the cassette player itself is of dubious quality. The door barely stays closed, the device sometimes turns off as it sould when the tape reaches the end while on play or rewind, sometimes it doesn't.

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!

I've had this unit for about 4 weeks now. It does a good job of transferring cassette audio to a micro SD card but there are some drawbacks. The biggest issue I have with the unit is the weak motor. It has trouble turning the larger C-90 cassettes. Just some background, I am an electronics engineer and I've been working with cassettes for many years. One of the first things I do when I put a cassette in the unit is to "repack" it. That is, I put it in, hit fast forward, and let it go all the way to the end. Then, I hit rewind and let it come back to the beginning. This really helps with older cassettes that may have been laying around for several years. But the unit really struggles with some C-90 cassettes. The Maxells seem to work better than TDK's. It struggles when I'm using batteries or the included AC Adapter. If it weren't for this issue, this would be a pretty good unit. Other issues: When hitting Fast Forward or Rewind, the button doesn't pop-up when it reaches the end. It will sit there and continue to try and spin the tape. This is minor, but it's worth a mention. Audio isn't stereo. I knew this going in, but it's not real obvious from the description. I may try and source a better motor and just replace it, but there's not much space to work with.

It is a nice little player. It did everything it was supposed to do. The sound is good for a small speaker system like this one. The Radio and player work fine. Copying from a Tape to a USB (MP3) memory stick works fine.

Got this to convert 40 year old cassettes to MP3. Works excellent. The quality of the output was in relation to the condition of the tapes. A couple of tapes played poorly, but tapes of the same year played great. Take that into consideration that you get out what you put in. The tapes that played well sounds like yesterday. I also use it to play radio while working on stuff. Great little unit for the price.

Durch Zufall fand ich diesen kleinen Radiocassettenrecorder bei Amazon. Die kleine Bauart und das schnörkellose Gehäuse sowie die technischen Features begeisterten mich sofort, so daß ein Kauf nicht mehr zu verhindern war, da viele der sonst angebotenen Geräte einfach nur billig und plump aussehen im Gegensatz zu der hier vorhandenen klassischen Gradlinigen Form. Das Gerät hat einen für die kleine Größe überraschend guten Klang und funktioniert einwandfrei. Das beigepackte Netzteil ist eine 120 Volt Ausführung welches hier nicht verwendet werden kann. Bei dem sehr günstigen Gerätepreis ist das jedoch zu vernachlässigen da man ja auch mit Batterien den Betrieb ermöglichen kann. Das Cassettenteil ohne Dolby und Bandsortenwahlschalter ist auch klanglich in Ordnung, da es ja kein High End Gerät ist und man auch noch zusätzlich Musik von der Speicherkarte abspielen kann was einfach nur Top ist. Fazit: Für den Preis ein Top Gerät, schön das Amazon solche exotischen Technikraritäten im Programm hat.

tel que décrit très jolie petit lecteur qui fonctionne très bien avec un beau son j'ai pas encore utiliser toutes ses capacités mais pour les cassettes le radio et la carte mémoire c'est OK pour tout j'ai choisi celui qui est blanc et j'aime beaucoup je pense que la qualité prix est imbattable je recommande à tous cet appareil qui nous rappel le bon vieux temps ainsi que ce vendeur 5 *****

Excelente produto que atende perfeitamente a minha necessidade

Excelente radiecito. Debido a la baja calidad de audio en los primeros radios con DSP no esperaba lo limpio del sonido, además de la fidelidad y sensibilidad del radio en este reproductor que brinda lal sensación de un radio vintage. El sonido al reproducir cintas también es admirable. Por el precio y tamaño del equipo estoy mas que satisfecho. Con sinceridad lo recomiento. Saludos

I love the shape of this little radio and it works well with four AA batteries. Sadly, the quality is dubious. The AC adapter stopped working after about thirty seconds, but since I predominantly wanted the radio for portable use, I decided not to return it. I am disappointed with this considering the cost. Other than that it sounds great, is lightweight and easy to use.
