Shift838 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 What are the best ones that we can use to replace the large Cassette storage systems? I know the MP3 player needs to have the MIC input and the line in input only hooked up to the TI. Can anyone confirm this and also confirm a decent MP3 play that has these lines to hook up. All the MP3 players I have run across only have the headphone jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Look at the Transcend MP350. Line-in recording and audio out. 8GB of storage and handles WAV files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The Sangean DAR 101 looks to be a much higher quality machine, but is also 3x the price... Might be worth it with that feature list though... Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi, just a hint, maybe a bit off-topic to your question I do all that tape-stuff with an USB-line-out-adapter from and on my notebook, as it is standing right next to my TIs. Very comfortable as I have direct access there to all my tape-files on my server. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrebird Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 For loading files I use my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S4, and a app called JetAudio Basic with everything turned up. for recording I'm still working on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very comfortable as I have direct access there to all my tape-files on my server. I am trying to do the same thing as Ralf, it is more convenient, downloading from the internet and push (slowly) to the TI. but I am only testing if it works, but it is very slow, but better something than nothing and it brings all the excitement, will the program come in the TI succesfully! (but I have some problems with the sound / tuning, not being able to get a program transferred this way) I prefer faster methods (...RS232 is also a slow process). Fastest I experienced so far is (nano-PEB, get CF-card out, put files on CF-card on the PC, put CF-card back in nano-PEB). but some nanoPEBs are flaky. Ralf has the Lotharek in the PEB-box, not sure how fast that is. (or use the OmniFlop on the PC for 5.25 disks and the TI-drive). but all the PEB stuff does not work with a standalone TI, which has only the Cassette I/O. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I bought one of these but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I don't even have a cassette cable anymore. http://www.radioshack.com/radioshack-4gb-desktop-digital-voice-recorder/1400214.html#start=60&q=recorder&sz=12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my eyes, the most important thing is to use a Line-Out, NOT an Audio-Out (regulated headfone-plug brings problems) The Lotharek´s is identically as fast as a real iron-drive, as it is an emu. The handling with the SD-card is very easy, just plug it into the PC and copy the HFEs onto it (OK, a matter of time may be the conversion from DSK to HFE, but the Lothareks-tool for that is very comfortable, handy, and also can do batch-conversion on a mass of files, with one klick) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
