Portable cassette-to-digital converter

The BR602 is a compact USB cassette player that turns analogue tapes into MP3 files on a PC or Mac. It is aimed at anyone with a collection of old mixtapes, voice recordings or commercial cassettes who wants a simple way to archive them without a separate sound card.

Lightweight build with 3.5 mm monitoring

Weighing 0.44 lb and measuring 20 units across, the unit fits easily in a bag and runs from USB power or alkaline batteries. A 3.5 mm headphone jack lets you monitor playback or listen privately while the tape is digitising.

USB capture with bundled Audacity software

Audio travels over a standard USB cable to the included Audacity application, which handles the recording and MP3 encoding on Windows XP through 7 and Mac OS versions older than 10.5.

Questions about this item

What USB standard does the BR602 use and what does that limit?

It connects over a standard USB link for audio capture and power, so transfer speed is capped by the USB audio class rather than a high-bandwidth spec.

What physical space and mounting does the BR602 need?

The unit measures 20 and weighs .44 lb, so it sits on a desk or slips into a bag without brackets or screws.

How is the BR602 set up and which step do people miss?

Plug the USB cable into a computer, install the Audacity software from the included CD, then press play on the cassette and hit record in the software — the step often missed is starting the recording in Audacity before the tape runs.
