I have one of these, they were a special but in Aldi/Lidl years ago (same machine slightly different branding). I converted a stack of cassettes while working from home, it worked really well but I think it ran slightly too fast and I probably needed to adjust the recorded speed by about 5% in Audacity. I didn't notice it but someone on one of the oldskool sites did.

I’m going to do the same for some old rave tapepacks I can’t find online. Just going to use my kid’s little stereo and record via the line in using Audacity.

I’ve seen some no-name equipment on Amazon that has USB and looks to come with its own software, but that’s probably shit. Cheaper option, though, more compact and you could still use Audacity - but I’d use with a DC power supply so you’re not doing it with batteries.

There’s probably a much more audiophile option with a high quality cassette separates deck that has better output.
