fruitgeek, I notice you say you used Garageband to catch the track into file format (then export it to iTunes to have it in wav or whatever file).

I connect my HYPE via USB, go to my sound feature and select input from the PnP device, output through headphone jack (actually have speakers hooked up) but when I hit record in Garageband and play on the HYPE, the tape rolls and the track lays down the metronome, no music.

I am on the newest MacBook Pro, all software updated & I am pretty proficient at Garageband, please let me know if there is something I am missing or maybe my HYPE is defective???

Thanks

I found that Hype portable cassette player on Ebay for $25.00 and it was really a piece of China crap. I agree, then it had the nerve to play my cassettes slow, while plugged into the USB. got my money back.

Use a friend’s computer that does have the tray for the mini cd. Copy the cd directly to a jump drive then install on your computer from the jump drive.

Davis,

some questions are tough to answer, unless someone happens to have a similar hardware / software setup to try and figure it out.

Kmauryo I am not the one who was rude, I only apologized if my comment caused someone else to be rude. I thought the other person was rude too. I don’t think I was being rude at all.

I did post a new question but never heard anything back. So I guess no one knows. I will probably end up sending the unit back and get a refund. I am quite disappointed that it didn’t work for me. And I agree the rudeness isn’t required, but that’s how people are nowadays. Sorry if my comment or question created any negativity.

Well, I don’t know the answer. However, being the Editor here I read all comments and provide advice and guiding.

Since the question in reply to which this comment was posted is old, chances are very slim that someone who knows the answer will see a recent comment. Hence my recommendation to post a new question, so that people who know the answer can see it and respond.

What is there so difficult to understand about that? And why do you have to be so rude?

this question is rather old. Please submit a new one. Thank you!

Abe,

this sounds like an entirely different question. You should ask a question of your own.

This may seem like a silly question. I just got the Hype and the software comes on a small CD. My laptop won’t take the CD. There’s no pull-out carrier. It either pulls it in or it doesn’t pull it in. What to do?

I received one of these HYPE tape to MP3 players today. I was so excited, because I have old recorded family audio tapes I would like to save to my computer. But once again I am disappointed because I hook everything up and install it, only to not be able to hear a sound out of it. I can hook a headphone into it and hear it, but it does not come through to the computer. Any suggestions? I’m very disappointed.
