They are now gone from the earth, but it would be nice to be able to see them through a video again. I couldn’t wait to convert some of these into digital media files so I could share the memories with everyone else! This is especially sentimental to us, because I have a few VHS tapes with my grandparents on them. My father still happens to, and I was excited to watch some of these memories come to life again. If your family is at all like mine, I imagine most everyone has a computer, a Facebook, but not very many of your family members have a VCR anymore.

There are other tape decks out there, with a wide range of price, and, likely, quality, with USB out to let you play tapes to your PC. If you've gone through the tapes fairly quickly, I'd suggest just returning the unit (your credit card likely as not has warranty-extensions built in if it's close on the warranty).

If you're lucky, perhaps a bit of tape or some other debris has jammed up one of the capstains. If there's been a mechanical failure, you're likely out of luck - cassette tape decks these days are getting rarer. Try turning the player on with the door open but no tape inside to see if anything even spins. That said, if the player hasn't just had some sort of internal mechanical failure, I'd recommend opening it up and gently turning the tape capstains with your fingers to see if they'll move. Judging by reviews on Amazon, you're not alone in having trouble with the cassette player, which has multiple people decrying the quality of the unitĪudio Recorder 3 0 Plus with Cassette Player
