will this be a good way to play my old tapes through another speaker system that includes only plugging up to the headphone jack?

It could be - I'm not sure about the sound quality in terms of what you may be looking for. It's not really meant to play as a "boom box" or similar. It's really just for voice note recording. I have it because decades ago, I had a few overseas penpals and we used to make voice tape letters for each other, and I wanted something inexpensive to play it. Then I used it to record some songs I was writing just to remember how the tunes went for later. It's a really basic device. So, it could work for your intentions, if you had the right jack, but I don't know how the sound quality will be.

You can plug it into another system through the headphone jack. I had mine sey up on my PC so I could make digital recordings of my tapes. You need a special sound card that takes such inputs, but it worked fine for me. Recordings could then be modified through audio editing software to make them sound good. :-) Hope this helps.

Ussually yes unless youre asking for a car...if you as using old tape cassette to access ur music it won't work. I got a new tape better quality ones and they work. But all headphones ussualy would work.

Probably. I replaced an old 1960s amplifier and everything worked great -- even better, in fact. It is a basic 2 channel amplifier -- it works best with old style speakers. It has an adequate AM/FM tuner. It plays CDs and has a phono input if you have a turntable. There is a tape input but no "Tape Monitor" function which my old amp had. Makes recording a little more difficult, but possible. It is a very good inexpensive old style stereo amplifier. I still like it a lot.

Should work fine if the if the cassette player amp requirement is compatible and you can hook it up to the player.

I would say so. It has a USB port and on the back there are two RCA plugs. You'll just need the correct adaptors for your cassette player. As I've stated, this is a really nice unit. The record player just isn't that great.

Hook computer speaker's to it. Using an rca plug that turns into a headphone type jack at the other

If you have a phantom power supply, yes. This is a condenser mic and needs phantom power to operate. Look for a phantom power supply on amazon or guitar center, etc. they are about $30. Then connect mic to it, and output from power supply to your cassette tape deck. The sound quality will be awesome. :). Info@thesoundboxstudio.com if you need more help.

No Roxann, I am afraid not, this unit is good to transfer music from old cassettes to your computer. Except if you use earphones then only the one person can hear the sound. It is not like the old units. I found it wonderful for being able to get music off the old cassettes -- it is really very easy to do then you might be able to burn a CD that can be used over and over. Hope this give you an idea -- please contact me if you need more info. Pennie

Yes, you can listen to tapes on it, but if you want to convert from tape to mp3, you need a flash drive (they're pretty cheap).

For playback yes of all peripherals. There is one exception that I have come across for newer phonographs. That is the ION requires a tape deck as opposed to the old school phono input. So if it is a newer phono, and you want all components plugged in at once then you may be interested in something else.

I have not yet used it after purchasing.....my hope is it will work with cassette recorder to transfer from tapes to computer files. I bought it because it seemed it will plug into any type of music source and then transfer the sound to computer. Good luck.

Hello Melodica, We do believe there may be some confusion here. These are bookshelf speakers that connect to a stereo system. There are no components to play cassettes or other media. You would have to have a playback device and connect the speakers to that.

Hello, yes you can use it like the old phonograph, I have used mine a lot since receiving it and have only used it to play records and it does that well.

You can record on cassette from almost any input. I recommend getting the manual and reading through it here: http://www.pyleaudio.com/sku/PTTCSM60/Turntable-Boombox-Multimedia-System---Plays-AMFM-Radio,-CDs,-Cassettes,-MP3s,---USBSD-Memory-Ports-and-Vinyl-to-MP3-Encoding It isn't written very well, but it outline all features in detail.

You are supposed to be able to play tapes, however I never had one that worked well enough to do anything. The seller who worked through Amazon, sent me a defective unit first couldn"t get a picture. I sent it back at my expense and they sent an obviously used one, it was wrapped in bubble wrap instead of the styrofoam, that had no sound and refused to take it back, So I never had a unit that worked so I can't answere your question other than I wish I had purchased my unit from Wallmart rather than Amazon. Right now I have a useless piece of electronics in my garage that I spent about $155.00 including shipping twice for, gathering dust.

You mean in reverse fashion? I cannot see why you wouldn't be able to do that... I'm doing something similar and it works fine for me! I've been doing this for years without any problems. I am hooked up with both separate phono out and tape out to a single audio stereo in port. I just switch between the two when I need either.
