Hello, if you are still using them, which one do you use ?

I have 300 GB of music. I am looking for one that is privacy respectful and able to read flac. Any recommandation ?

        Love mine, but the newer version that my wife has is just a little bit better all around. Plus the extras it comes with are a pure nostalgia hit.

      Ok, wait, so this thing also works as an actual cassette? That’s so hilariously awesome I might get it purely for that gimmick.

        Yes… in the cassette players that work with those adapters. Annoyingly, the old stereo we have set up at work in one shop doesn’t work with those casette adapters or the Mixxtape.

        Also, if you use it in a tape deck, it doesn’t use the spools as inputs. You just set it playing and pop it in. Similar to my old Digisette Duo Aria.

        I will admit, I have rarely used the tape deck function, but it has been useful on occasion.

          Thanks, so it is probably hit and miss on that feature, but I’d also probably rarely use it. I still might pick this up as it looks very cool.

            If you can get one of those cassette adapters, you can test the tape deck of interest first.

            Technology Connections on YouTube had an episode on those tape adapters, but I can’t remember the reason why she some tape decks don’t work with those cassette adapters.

            So far I’ve only had that one tape deck not work.
