Have you ever wondered if it's possible to convert your cassette tape players into an mp3 music player? Thanks to TapelessDeckPlayer, the idea is now possible and seems both inviting and enticing for music enthusiasts who are still in possession of their cassettes. After all, who'd be crazy enough to throw them out - especially in this modern and music digital age?
The TapLess Deck Player features some pretty nifty add-ons that you would be surprised to know exists on this deck player. It has wireless capabilities - so that you can upload songs/albums and manage your music library from your PC or Mac system. It just requires a standard web browser. Nothing too fancy.
It features the perfect size and has animated functions for cassette reels and tape playability. It also enables you to use the player with the touch of a finger - you can play, rewind and even skip tracks and manage your library with the on-screen functionality. The ability to play MP3 and lossless FLAC files is a major possibility - giving the opportunity to play the sound perfectly and at higher sound quality.
All your favorite songs and albums will be stored into one device on the tape player - allowing access to a large storage on this device. You can also have the ability to use the internet radio on the MP3 Deck using built-in software or additional applications. You also have the option to use it as a Spotify player, as well.
The MP3 Player also has an FM Radio attached to it. All you'll need to do is switch the player on and toggle through your favorite stations to use this feature. There are also more ideas and applications that can be installed to this player to enhance functionality and playability of this device - the options are there and should be provided on the player.

To build the player, first, it is essential that the one interested in listening to their cassettes chooses a tape recorder that is suitable for the type of music they'll listen to. This is to enhance the modification of the tape itself and apply the final effect to the modifications.
In the center of the system, there is a smartphone touchscreen that uses special software to allow ease of playability. However, the phone must have some sufficient space for memory or an added memory card for the music storage. Chargers, connectors, audio cables, and jacks are also required to run and play the music. Inserting the smartphone into the cassette compartment might be a bit tricky, however. Connecting electronic sources to the circuits with no distortions may be quite a challenge, as well. The end result is the device acts as a real tape deck - which includes animations, level meters, adjustable output signal and much more. The unique system is the only handcrafted device in the world.
Remember those tape to CD adapters? How would those compare, I wonder...
