Q: Hi! Looking for something to safely play old cassette tapes loud enough that I can capture them on my iphone and then save them as MP4s. Does this have that capacity? Thank you!

submitted by stuff stuff stuff - 2 years ago
  • A: Hello- The GPX Cassette Player / Recorder (Shoebox) comes with built-in microphone, speakers with analog volume control, and a 3.5mm AUX port. Theoretically, if you had an older iPhone, iPod, or MP3 player with a headphone port, you could plug into the Aux port. This should allow you to record the music/recordings to a blank cassette tape. That said, you would not be able to upload to a MP4 from a cassette as the unit does not have the required output features to do so, thank you.

    Adrienne - 3 years ago
    Before 60 days had elapsed, I called GPX to get a replacement recorder, but they did not honor their 90 day warranty because I did not purchase the recorder from an authorized vendor. The volume went out, and I was told that it might be the batteries. I had never used batteries- only the cord that came with the recorder. I was also instructed to unplug the unit for a minute or two. OF course that didn't work either. I just gave away my hard earned money for a piece of worthless junk.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received and tried out. I have an older vintage Craig cassette recorder. I recorded on both recorders and played back same cassette recording on both units. My old Craig sounded better and crisper. I read reviews on muffled sound and must state GPX could use a better mic. but suffices for my needs. Other than that it works great, I love being able to press record button which causing play to push in with it. Don't have to press them together which it why I purchased because of constantly turning on and off (and trying to press play and record at the same time) on an year old portable walk man type recorder it broke. I record bits and pieces of music and vocals to capture ideas on the fly,(this is why I turn it on and off constantly which can be transferred to other media later if desired. Some reviews said it was all plastic which I don't find I problem because it is lighter about 1/3 less in height, an inch shorter and about same width as my vintage Craig recorder (which is plastic also but has a couple metal face plates on it). Even though its all plastic it seems to be of sturdy construction.
