Now if they can get one for my 8-track collection I'm in!
I am still wait for reel to reel tape to mp3 converter..
still no hieroglyphics converter? I'm sick of carrying around cave walls and stone tablets.
seriously though, what's the pci card do? is there any advantage to using this instead of connecting a tape deck to my line in?
i have a project to convert a few cassette recordings to mp3.
who wrote the description?
"and a PCI-Card that actually does all the work" sounds very incorrect
from the link:
"Connection card does not require a motherboard slot, just a slot opening on the case"
"Product Requirements:
Available Expansion Slot (for connection card)
Sound Card (analog Line out, Line in essential)
"
sounds to me like its just a tape deck you connect to your sound card, please change the description in this post.
Who cares, no one in their right mind would buy one of these. ... now wait a minute ... I have a 78 collection ... I'm talking about 78rpm records for those of you who are ... awww forget it ...
Can I run this instead of a floppy drive?
Works best on Windows 3.1 and a Celeron.
oh, how nice.spend $57 to buy a piece of deck and connect a phone jack to the sound card.
Haha, fun times.
In any case, I have one of these, and it works pretty good. The includes software controls the thing via an RS232 port, so it does things like start, stop, side a/b, rewind, etc. You can pop a tape in, rewind, and copy the entire thing to an MP3 file and it will stop automatically. Very handy if you have a bunch of books on tape you want converted and can't find them on the p2p sites.
The output it sadly through the line in on the pc.
Does work on Windows 7, fwiw.
