    Basic Cassette dual deck
    This is the first time I brought a cassette deck in 30 years.Didn't want to spend 400 dollars on a tape deck .I just wanted to transfer my music cassette collection I had since the late 70s to Mp3 digital format. Anyway, I'm not a fan of Plye but I was surprised I how well-built this cassette deck was.I brought out and pop in one of my old cassette tapes and boom it play like a charm. Make note I connected the cassette deck via USB connection to my desktop. This deck also has the RCA outputs and inputs in case you want to connect it to your old receiver.Also, this is a dual cassette deck in case you want to dub from one cassette tape to another. Now this tape deck didn't come with no instructions on how to transfer music tape to digital format. You will have to download the free app of Audacity do that.Other than that this cassette deck gets the job done.

    I've been collecting music since I was 15. I am now 70.I have thrown out nothing. Needless to say, I have over a thousand items in my collection. Cassettes the bulk of the collection. Heartbroken when Cassette decks left the cars, decks for home use are rare . Imagine my dismay when my top of the line Sony died. Dusting off Cassettes, I couldn't play. Pyle to the rescue. Hearing my music again. This deck is everything I need to hear those 70/ 80 sounds again. This is a very basic deck, no bells or whistles. IT PLAYS MY CASSETTES on my home component stereo system. That's all I need. You can use this to convert the Cassettes, but I am a purest. It can record, but that was not my purpose for purchasing. It looks good, sounds good, and has me dancing to the tunes of my youth. Reasonably Priced, built like the original decks of the 70's. Highly recommended if you still have Cassettes and want to hear them again. Thank you Pyle.

    Ok, so I'm old. Go ahead and laugh if you want, but I still have cassette tapes from high school and college. (Yeah, I told you I was old). Through the years I have worn out tape decks long after cd's and downloads were the thing, so I was ecstatic when I found a real tape deck to hook to my way old 80's receiver. I can now listen to my old music again. Nothing beats 80's music. Plus if you were lucky enough to find the radio station that didn't talk over the music you could record all the hits. But, this is supposed to be a review so here it goes. I've had this tape deck for several months now and it's great. I've had no bad issues whatsoever. I took it out of the box, grabbed some patch cords and plugged it into my receiver and started enjoying some classic pop rock music. And since it has 2 decks, when I wear the one deck out I will have back up. Seriously, for the price, you can't go wrong. I'm glad I purchased this.

    Regarding the title of the review, not implying I was "stuck" with this, but I found very few cassette players other that the standard boom box. If you need a stereo component for cassettes, this will definitely serve you well. Some reviews are a bit critical of how well the cassette goes into the slot. If you don't rush and use a modicum of care, it works fine.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good basic cassette deck for the price
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this deck with a couple of purposes in mind, namely to copy my aging tapes to new tapes and create mix tapes from mp3's. I had no intention of transferring my tapes to my computer since all the songs were already available as digital downloads online, and besides I my old tapes were all recorded on normal tapes and were only of passable quality to start with.
    This deck offered me all the options I needed for a very reasonable price. I do not claim to be an expert audiophile, just your average music listener.
    I hooked up my phone to the Line-in inputs on the back and played back songs from my mp3 collection which I recorded on tape using Chrome good quality new tapes. This deck supports playback and recording of chrome tapes, so that was great. One has to be very careful with the sound recording level, which can be adjusted using a rotary knob on the front because it's easy to overload the inputs with resulting severe distortion of the recorded sound. In the end, I had a mixed tape of some of my favorite music, something I had not done in probably over 25 years! Geeky fun :)
    A few things to note: The deck is cheaply made and it shows, but it works as it should. There is no auto-reverse which is annoying but one can learn to live without it. There is no Dolby noise reduction built in, but that did not seem to noticeably detract from the quality of the recorded sound. There is no headphone jack, which is an unusual oversight, so I had to hook up a headphones amp to the Line-out jacks. I also used powered speakers with no issues. Finally, you cannot hear the input sound while it is being recorded, again a minor annoyance.
    So in the end, despite the above mentioned shortcomings, I am pretty happy with this deck, at least for my particular needs. I did not try the USB transfer option, so I can't speak to that.

    １と月ほど使って，ダビングなどしていますが特に問題ありません。古いカセットはテープが切れやすいので，ダブルカセットは助かります。
    注意点としては，ダビングするとき，ダビングボタンも押して，インジケーターを点灯させておかないと，ダビングされない点です。軽くて使いやすいです。マニュアルは英語ですが，特に難しい操作はないです。値段も安いので，壊れても修理しないで，新しいのを買おうと思って言います。

    Los materiales se sienten basicos y fragiles; la casetera hace ruido q es molesto cuando intentas escuchar a volumen bajo; lo peor, no tiene reproduccion continua, imperdonable para un equipo de doble casetera, tan grande y de este precio, su version anterior es mas economica y tendria mejor relacion costo/beneficio
