About Gracioso Portable Cassette Player Recorder Converter
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
87% appreciated the long battery life, while 13% found it drained quickly
The player records faster than it is supposed to, which could affect the battery life of my device.
87% praised its rugged and reliable design, but 13% had issues with fragile parts
Despite some quality issues, I have found that the recorders hold up well with repeated use.
I think the tape player is of good quality and the MP3 files it created were also good, despite the caveat.
I wonder how long this product will last as it feels cheaply made.
I had a tape jam and found that access to the drive mechanism is very limited.
89% liked the ease of use
The gadget is fairly easy to use and can be used as a cassette tape player or to record tapes onto the micro chip.
I found the converter to be simple and easy to use with largely self-explanatory buttons.
At first, it was difficult to use, but I eventually got the hang of it. Now, I can easily figure out how to do one song at a time.
The recorder is easier to use than my previous setup and does not have dead space at the beginning and end of the recording, saving time for cleanup.
87% found it easy to carry around
I wish a new version of the device with MP3 encoding options and BLUETOOTH connectivity ability came out, since the tape playing function is sound enough compared to any old Walkman variety.
I was able to copy and digitize a box of old N.Y. recording and live session tapes from 1978-83 that were sitting outside in my shed for the last 15 years.
I have recorded 180 tapes so far with only 7 tapes that were in too bad shape to record. I got 150 good tapes to a 32 GB card - about 1400 songs total.
90% praised the clear and crisp sound, but 10% found it muffled
I have noticed that there is no background noise and the files sound as good as the original tape.
The sound quality depends on the speakers and is decent.
The sound quality is not the best for playing cassettes and there is an intermittent high pitched squeal when playing some of them during recording.
