WE ARE SORRY BUT, WE NO LONGER TRANSFER THE AUDIO TAPES.

Audio Cassette Tape Transfer To MP3 Or Audio CD

 

Original Audio Cassette Tape

Click Here For Order Form

We can create one backup copy of your original purchased audio cassette tape that you own as long as the backup copy corresponds to the original licensed original; the backup copy is on a different media; only one backup copy per licensed original; the backup copy is for personal use and not for replication or resale. We can transfer only one song or track, if that is what you want, but the price is the same as a full tape. Do NOT send us any personal cassette that contains any copyright music. In other words, you can't make a tape of music off your radio or CD or vinyl record and send it to us for conversion to MP3. We won't do it. If you have a tape with your personal music or other material on it, we can digitize that.

 

Audio Cassette Tape Transfer Pricing

Flat rate fee of $8.00 per tape to transfer your Audio Cassette Tapes to MP3. Our $8.00 pricing includes cleaning your tape, transferring one side of each cassette to digital MP3 format and a CD or DVD data disk to hold the digital files. Each side of the tape will be converted to multiple MP3s based on the tracks. If your tape is jammed or damaged in some way, we will attempt to fix it for you for an additional $5. If we cannot get it un-jammed or, if we cannot splice the tape pieces together, you only pay the $5 for our work to attempt to fix the tape so it will play. During splicing, some parts of audio tracks may be lost. The whole tape will be transferred as multiple MP3 files based on the different tracks on the audio tapes.

 

MP3 Compression

Using MP3 compression, we can convert the music or audio from possibly 25 cassette tapes or more into less than 700MB of files: that would fit on a single CD-R! We use automatic track splitting. We do not name the individual files. They will be named "track 01," track 02" and etc and will be in a folder with the Album Name. If you want your individual tracks named by us, we will do it for an additional $5.00 per album. Minimum order of $18.00 not including return shipping. Return shipping is $5 for the first cassette tape and $1 for each additional cassette. If you don't need the cassettes back, this will reduce your return shipping costs since you would only have to pay first class postage for sending your CD disks.

Digitize Your Tape Collection

Besides having your whole collection of music tapes, you might have tape recordings of your kids when they were young that you would want to preserve. Colleges and other schools can enhance language studies by converting analog cassette tapes into long lasting and quality retaining digital files. Through this conversion, students can transfer large quantities of study materials to MP3 players for portable and personal use. Churches may have sermons, bible studies or other sound recordings that they would want to preserve by digitizing. Government offices, museums and libraries may have sound recordings with high preservation value on cassette tapes and we can digitize and permanently preserve their materials.

Audio Cassette Tapes Have Limited Lifetime

While an audio tape has a possible life-span of maybe 15-30 years, it also degrades every time it is used. The tape is continually rubbing on something no matter how much you wish it wasn't. Tapes break. Parts of the cassette break. There is a good chance that you will lose everything on the tape. Once you have a digital copy on a CD, copying CDs is an exact copy and easy to do, while copying a tape involves both wear to the tape and degradation of the signal.

Considering the prevalence of MP3 players, both standalone and on computers, it is unlikely that the ability to play back these files is going to disappear.
