However, if you already have a retro hi-fi setup it is possible to record and create MP3s from your tapes without buying a new component at all. These selections allow you to playback and convert many types of media with just one device, saving both space and potentially money compared to acquiring several different players and converters.

If you happen to be interested in other physical medias such as vinyl records or CDs you should check out all in one models like the TEAC LPR660 and Digitnow Turntable, the former being the high-end version and the latter being the more affordable of the two. The usage of a high-quality tape mechanism and the presence of features such as a counter and noise reduction results in a superior recording quality, and makes them a great choice for those who still intend to enjoy cassettes in their original format from time to time. The TEAC W-1200 and Pyle Dual Deck are two such options that combine the design of a standard dual-deck cassette player with a USB audio interface. While the audio fidelity offered by the aforementioned selections may be acceptable for hobbyists, audiophiles and those who require archival quality will most likely have to go with something more expensive.

In addition to being easy to use and providing decent sound quality, these models are both portable and won't require dedicated space on your desk or bookshelf. If your goal is to digitize your old cassette collection for the sake of posterity or for casual listening in the car, you will most likely be satisfied by affordable options like the Reshow Portable and the Mypin Converter.
