Reviews of the Alesis TapeLink USB
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Alesis TapeLink USB includes two cassette decks, RCA input and output, a USB audio card, and capable audio-recording software.
The Bad: Aside from the USB port on the back, the TapeLink is no better than the cassette deck you probably had in the 1980s, and lacks conveniences such as autoreverse.
The Bottom Line: The Alesis TapeLink USB offers a comprehensive and familiar solution for transferring your old cassette tapes into digital audio.
