so using this device, can I put the cassette material on a usb flash drive and then transfer the flash drive files to my mac?

Yes. The AGPtek converts the tape directly to mp3 format which is compatible with PC & Mac and any other mp3 player.

I have not tried that, but I have done it the other way around ... cassette to CD. I have found the unit to be very versatile and I've been very pleased with it. Note, however, that I am not a music or stereo equipment aficionado.

The USB drive should be recognizable by any device with a USB Port. the only thing that would be incompatible is if you have a proprietary file type exclusive to Mac trying to run it on Windows. Files like pictures, videos and such should all be fairly universal and transfer with no issues.

I don't have a Mac but all Flash Drives are or should be compatible. It's just the way you format it.

Yes, that's exactly what it does. You play the cassette in the device while it's connected via USB to your computer, and create a digital file which you may save in MP3 format, among many others.

For me it's a 3 step process ... Cassette to Flash drive, Flash to computer, computer to music CD. So, for you the last step is computer to ipod.

Yes. My husband transferred some old cassette audio tapes to his hard drive with this item, and then burned a CD. Works well. Very happy with results.

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

No, I don't think you can. These drives are usually either for a Mac or PC and not interchangeable. I don't know of any that you could use for the purpose you want. Have you looked into something like Carbonite? There are others like this out there. This is a remote program to store your files and then you can get them from anywhere. You could look into this. It takes quite a while to save your files initially but then works in the background after that. Congrats for switching to a Mac. There is a learning curve but I'm sure, in the end, you will be glad you did!

Good question, Clyde. I'd like to know as well. I think that it will work, but I'm also curious if anyone knows if if apple pages/numbers/keynote docs will work? They're not listed as supported file types, but I'm wondering if that's just in regards to viewing them within the kingston app, if you can still transfer the files back and forth through the app or through the iDevice browser or if it won't allow it at all?

I have never tried it, but you can. The USB is useful for just copying one piece from the computer in order to listen to it on your hifi or to copy just one piece from a cassette or a vinyl in order to make a compilation.

I got one but can't access it on my Mac. I know the Mac can "see" it sitting on the USB port, but it doesn't mount it as a volume or do anything else which would let me access its files. Looking for a workaround.

There is no "Record" button on the player so I would say that you cannot transfer mp3 to cassette.

I've pulled off photos and stuff from the reader to my MAC so I don't see why not. The program opens up a separate "icon" for the reader much like a flash drive. However, I have never tried it so I can't say for sure

The device comes with a FAT32 partition, which is quite limited but very compatible.I repartitioned my USB Flash drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and so files on it can be as large as the device.

Yup, just switch the USB Mode and it will basically be a USB Storage Device, according to the computer. I've tried it on Windows 98, Ubuntu, and Mac - all three recodnized them.MTP mode just makes it so you can sync libraries and stuff. If you are running the other mode, then be sure you have put tags on your songs, and they must be v2.

Yes, you should be just fine. Just dont format your usb, or else all of your data will be wiped. Your mac should be able to use the usb just as fine as windows would
