Will the unit convert older cassette tapes to CDs?

Not directly. You would need to copy the cassettes to a computer and then copy them onto a CD.

Although I haven't specifically recorded cassette tapes to CD yet with this Tascam, it does have analog left and right audio inputs so it should definitely work. This recorder is really great with converting all formats to CD, and the CD's are then playable on all other machines. I'd totally recommend it!!

I don't think it will. It plays MP3 and WMA files (stored on CD or USB) and of course normal CDs. You can always convert WAV files to one of these formats.

Yes, you can record from a cassette or I would imagine you can also record from CD. My machine is new enough, I haven't done that yet. I also use the variable speed feature to slow down music for teaching dance.

No you can not record from CD to cassette tape because this model does not record. Their are Sony radios that do record though. artras@att.net

No, this is a cassette deck. There are other products that offer dubbing of cassettes to CDs, but not many, and not this one.

I successfully transferred cassettes to CDs using Windows 7. I saved the digital files and then burned them to CD.

Yes you can. The unit comes with an easily understood user manual that explains in detail how to record music from both the USB and CD outputs to your cassette recorder.

I've used a cassette adapter on mine. Just plug it in like you would a CD player and listen to your collection.

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. The older model had cassette players on them so you could record from one cassette to the other. I don't remember if you could record from the turntable and cd's. But this model has no cassette players.

Jane -Sorry, the Magnavox MDR515 does NOT record to CD's, only to DVD's. (It however plays audio CD's as well as DVD's.)To transfer audio cassette tapes to CD's, it is first necessary to convert the analog recordings to a digital format such as WAV or MP3. This is easily accomplished if you have a PC computer at home.

You would need something to actually play the tapes. This just converts incoming A/V to digital.

Jake, I believe cassette tapes are analog, MP3's are a digital format which I believe can only be put on CD's, MP3 players, computers, cell phones, memory cards, etc. I would say the answer is "no".

According to my instruction manual you can record from a CD to a cassette..but not conversely!
