Is it possible to go directly from the cassette to the computer without MP3?

As far as I can tell, I am doing it right now, if you save the music to .aup (the audacity software that comes with the player/recorder). You can play it that way. Though it seems to want to play both sides at once! If you mute one channel though, you can listen to the sides by themselves. Takes a little work but yes, you can listen from your computer without going to Mp3. And of course you can listen to the cassete right from the player.

You can listen directly through headphones. However, this unit is not powered by batteries, but from an external supply that comes through the USB port or from another source so you wouldn't be able to use it while walking around away from your computer. The whole point of this unit is to convert your tapes to MP3's or iPhone format which you can then load onto your iPhone or other digital device. If you just want to listen to old tapes, find an old Walkman and put some new batteries in it.

Yes, as mentioned several times, get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Audio Cable, and using Audio grabber or some other freebie computer recording software, "play" it using Line In to your computer. Not as clean as a direct USB connection and thus, not as easy as drag and drop, but it works fine and you can save your recordings to your computer. The spoken sound quality is very good and clear.

I don't see why not. I haven't done much with the converting to digital functions of this machine. But it does have a cassette port, I'd imagine it's similar to digital conversion of LPs. Good luck, let us know how it turns out!

No, you can't. This recorder doesn't have usb connection, only stores in a built-in memory and you play from it.

Im also wondering the same thing, if there is a simpler version of just listening to old vinyls on your pc speakers

Jake, the Okeba cassette deck inputs through a USB connection. It has no write-head, and as such is a read only device. Any cassette deck that can record, can be attached to your computer via a cord with an earphone plug on each end. One end would go into the microphone jack of your cassette deck (with a recording head) and the other to the earphone jack of your computer. Playing the mp3 on your computer, you could record in analog the music coming forth through the earphone output.

I gave up on the software. The tape player has been good for playing the actual cassette tapes and transferring to a separate digital audio recorder in WAV files, then through the computer and on to mp3.

This unit will not because it doesn't record. To do this you would need to record to your computer, convert to MP3's (this unit will allow you to do this easily, and then you would need a digital cassette recorder to copy your MP3's. This would take specialized equipment both to record and to play as standard cassettes are analog.

No only *usb* to computer! There are no midi or other audio inputs and outputs bro.

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.

Yes via USB cable connected to PC the Radio connection shows up on PC as a disk drive,So it's easy to copy and or cut and paste to PC. Also copy recordings from PC to Degen DE1129 to play as MP3 David

Sorry, I just purchased the Neewer portable tape to MP3. I don't sell anything.Mine just charges from USB from my computer.

No analog. Nobody makes it that easy to transfer your old tapes to digital. Digital in and out is via USB using Play Memories software.

There is not, though that would be very helpful for people with lots of cassettes and little time.

Yes since the unit would have to be in the recording mode you should be able to play. You can play a cassette without recording so a record should be no different. The output on my unit goes thru an amplifier

No, unfortunately you can't. I too, have lots of tapes but there is only a USB port, no plug.
