Cassette To iPod Converter

Nothing screams “Old School” than a tape cassette player. For those of you old enough to remember, the cassette ushered out the 8 Track, the CD replaces the cassette, and now it’s all about the MP3 file. For those of you looking for a bit of nostalgia, there is a new device (pictured above) that allows you to convert audio tape cassettes into MP3 files and stores them directly onto an iPhone or iPod touch. The device not only accepts iPod touches, but also accepts most iPhones. It comes with a free app which makes conversion to MP3 as simple as inserting a cassette, docking an iPhone or iPod touch, and pressing play. Best of all, cassettes can also be converted to a PC running Windows 7, XP, or Vista or a Mac using the included software.
