All those mix tapes your friends made you, all the wistful nostalgia of Iron Maiden and proto-emo early Smiths can be at your fingertips again with the magic of tape-to-MP3 technology. And today, we found you a converter on sale at almost a 30 percent reduction in price.

Keeping in mind that sales tax varies from state to state, this is a pretty good deal--a little more than a hundred smackers to save you the time and hassle of finding all your old Hüsker Dü and Wham! favorites on CD. Be sure to check the seller's site for hardware and system requirements before buying.

If you want the high-end, higher-price big sister of this machine, with more features and updated design, check out Crave's review of the Plus Deck EX.

What: Plusdeck2c tape-to-MP3 cassette deck
How much: $108
Shipping: $8, varies
Where: X-treme Geek

this unit just does not work for music

Installation of the PlusDeck2 was not a big deal and it does do a good job of separating the songs out one from another. You can set it up to record while you step out or if you like the music or what ever you have on the tape you can do something else. If your wanting the same quality of the mp3 as the tape this is not for you. as it is playing the cassette the sound is great but when you play back the mp3 it is pretty bad. I think they need some static removal and something to fix the speed. The mp3 sounded more like Alvan (of the chipmunks) than it did of Dolly Parton or Rodger Whittaker. In voice cassettes the voice was just a little higher and faster than it should have been but otherwise OK<br />For saving cassettes of speakers or talks OK but for music I don't think so.
