I would but those system requirements... They're pretty steep. On a serious note, why in the hell do you need a graphics card to use this

Tapes sound like shit conpair to CD that why i said that lol

 

They sound like crap in comparison to even medium-quality MP3.

 

Sigh... reminds me of people who would take low-quality MP3 files, re-encode them as a WAV and claim that they had boosted the sound quality immeasurably. Pah. :(

True, but I can still see a small group of people who may use this. 

 

I personally wouldn't use it, but that's just me.. 

Yeah. I don't even have any cassettes laying around anymore. i really haven't seen one in years.

This is clearly for old people who want to save their tape recordings of crap.

 

I watched enough QVC while I was unemployed, that's who they market this stuff to.

the other week I did some hardcore lurking on a forum for people collecting walkmans and ghettoblasters. 

 

I do have to admit as a kid I did want one of those waterproof yellow and black sony walkmans so bad and seeing a bunch of those plastered around brought back memories.

be warned its a weird and wonderful part of the internet. I almost feel like david attenborough peeking in on people who cling to tape medium

 

also be warned it is kind of infectious, I'm not sure if I can hold my wallet back if I do in fact find that black and yellow sony sport walkman that I coveted oh so many years ago.
