Cassette Mate converts tapes into MP3s

You�ve got to love that retro style, but the cassette tapes that are stacked up to oblivion in the spare room need to go. You don�t want to lose all those precious tunes, but it�s a little difficult to find a simple way to transfer the cassette to a more manageable form. That�s where Thanko�s Cassette Mate is going to come in very handy.

This little device looks as though it�s a Walkman, but actually take the tapes that go into it and can convert them into MP3, WAV, or WMA files. If you really want to, you can use this as a Walkman, but that�s only for the sake of nostalgia. There�s also some bulky Windows software included that will automatically split tracks for you if you�d like. This whole deal costs about $34, but in all honesty, unless you’re dead-set on preserving those old mix tapes, you really should invest in buying digital copies of the tracks. It might cost a bit more, but the audio quality is going to be much better.

    I'm terrified of Japanese websites ever since I unwittingly signed up to Japanese only newsletter and started receiving three emails a day from them with no obvious way to unsubscribe… :(
