Cassette-Shell Sized MP3 Player/Recorder

Posted by timothy on from the what-I-want-for-the-car dept.

octa-g writes: "USA Today tech reviews is featuring a nifty little cassette sized MP3 player that records analog audio. 'The Digisette Duo-DX can copy cassette tapes in a dual-well tape deck or boombox. Or you can make recordings by connecting an output cable from a stereo source to the Duo's earphone port and holding down the Duo's play and fast-forward buttons.' The ability to record audio straight to the player, or to record some of my old tapes/LPs to MP3 without a computer or other recording equipment intrigues me." This sounds like a good way to add fast-forward to the old car radio.

    The RIAA is likely to say that only terrorists would be likely to get such a device...

    ...brining it up to par with all the new car radios that have fast-forward pre-installed...

    "Honey, can you fast-forward NPR to 7:00 am? I want to see what my commute is going to be like tomorrow..."

      You could always use one of those 8-track to casette adaptors. My family had one we used in our Chevy stationwagon. I did get a portable CD player and used one of those line-out to casette adaptors to go into the 8-track adaptor.

      Sounded about as you would expect.

    Cool! Now if they can just make an track player in the shape of a CD, I'll be back in business, baby...

    If your bitterest enemies are people who hack the heads off civilians, then I would say you're doing something right.
