Don't use the CassetteMare software. It doesn't work. Use the Audacity software that's also provided on the CD in the package, then follow the instructions provided with the Audacity software, not the Audacity instructions in the manual provided in the package. That manual is useless. With a little effort, you can convert tapes to mp3s using Audacity.

Download the software as instructed and everything works really well. Once it grabs the file it gives you file format options for export. I used it with a Mac and it was pretty cool.

Agree fully with answer #4. The Audacity program works fine, but you do need to download the subprogram to get it to transfer for mp3. Just be careful which "USB Audio device" you pick. Once you see the audio forms, you have the right device. Good luck. Not intuitive at all, but it does work well. Dumps it right into iTunes if you want.

Try downloading a converter program. Convert your mp3s to .wav format then import.

I also bought this item and experienced the same .My advise to you is to format the device then try putting the music on it via USB connector,IF it still doesn't work then there is a possibility that the problem is within the mp3 or USB.

Just convert the wma to an mp3 using a free converter program that you can download from the web. If the audio book says that you cannot do that right click on the audio book, go to properties, and change the properties of the audio book file, from read only or archive, and then convert it using the converter program. If you have Nero software, it is easy to convert, just uncheck the box in properties, that stops you from converting. I think that should do it, if not, then I guess there is another way that I do not know, and someone else will be able to help you.

I'm on OSX 10.9.1 and it worked perfectly to get old CD's and tapes into .mp3 format. Used Audacity - awesome!! Audacity looks bewildering at first, but is e-a-s-y to use.

Right click on the MP3 Filename. You should have "Audiozilla Convert to" as one of our selections. Choose from there and the rest is self explanatory.

This would help in what you're asking as long as your computer has a digital output and you need to convert it to the analog inputs on your tape deck.

i know you can paste it into media player, which i would think would transfer to your mp3. i have burned a disc, so it should go to mp3.

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).

It did that with my .wma files, but not the .mp3 files. It's supposed to be .wma compatible, but it's not.

Here are some suggestions. They may seem obvious solutions, but hopefully one of these will help you... -Check your computer's speaker volume level -Check the volume on the cassette player -Check the playback volume on the Audacity program's volume level is turned up -Make sure that the player is plugged into the microphone port and not the headphone port (if you did accidently plug it into the headphone port, then the Audacity program did not record any of it and you'll need to completely re-download the cassette recording)

If your CD burner software supports burning to mp3, it should work. If you have a CD-RW, I would test it out on that before burning to the actual CD to be sure that it works. Hope this helps.

I didn't use the software that came with it. I downloaded and use the free program Audacity, which is an excellent program for working with audio files and which works with all versions of Windows. Buy this tape deck because you want USB connectivity, not because of the software that comes with it.

I use a boombox for my Cassettes so i can do it eather way. Use a dual mini Plug out of the Boombox or what ever you are using this way you can check your conversion and listen if you want. Off of the duel plug one side to your computer and the other side to a headset or whatever you want to monitor your conversion with. works just fine. Good Luck. OneBigSki

I can't help you there, mine connects just fine, but I hope you didn't format the MP3 player beforehand, I remember seeing something in the instructions booklet about it. I don't have personal experience with your error but I would refer to the manual for any troubleshooting of that sort.

I'm Not sure How to explain how I did it.. but I changed the format of the File and then added it to my mp3 player. So I just wanted to let you know it can be done.. You may want to get someone who knows a little more about computers and converting files to come and help you guys out...

If you tried Sony, try again... I've tried ALL of them, kid you not, and the Sony has the best sound quality of all of them. Most all tapes will "click" a little in the player, and you can prevent that a little by sticking your finger in and slightly moving the tape around as it's playing.. sounds like a lame fix, but it works like a charm. Also, try cleaning your tape deck with a cleaner product, that helps. All n all I love the Sony adapter and so do all the people i recommend it to.
