Cassette to MP3 without using Computer

[johnrenosh]

I have almost 100+ cassettes which I need to digitize. I am looking for a device that will play and convert it to digital format(mp3) without having it to connect to PC/laptop. I could find some chinese products that does this functionality. I am looking for a reliable product that can help me do this...

I searched and could not find anything that did not require a PC. Usually the devices are cassette players with USB. You still need a PC and software. If you have a cassette deck then you can just feed the analog out into the audio input on your PC and use the same software. Here is a link with instructions:

I found this while searching through net http://www.philips.co.in/c/audio-system/multisource-ripping-usb-tape-az1856_98/prd/

Looks like it will do what I need

There are devices that will do this, but ask yourself this:
1. do you want to be able to edit the cassettes and sort the files into 'tracks'
2. do you want to be able to removed unwanted clicks and buzzes
3. do you want to be able to remove background hiss etc?
4. do you want to be able to have the output in different formats
If yes is the answer to any of the above, then you must use a PC, there is no device that I know of which allows these functions. Without a PC you just end up with a stream of unedited audio.
