holiday homework




The BTO Plusdeck EX is for all you people out there that are unwilling to convert to more updated technology. Plusdeck EX has the capability of converting mp3 files into analogue files and then able to be dubbed on to a cassette tape. It is all USB powered so its relatively simple to set up and get underway quickly. Other nifty features this otherwise simple looking machine features are phono jacks so the older generation can play and rip there vinyls, 7.1 surround sound support, mobile phone in and the capabilities to record and convert FM and AM radio into mp3 files.
I don’t think this is going to be too successful due to the world we live in today. They don’t really sell cassette players or blank cassettes to record to anymore and with technology being constantly updated each and every day those old formats will soon be a thing of the past. It’s also pretty pricy at $300 . Saying that I would still be one to buy this product for some of the other features it includes such as recording radio and for ripping my vinyls to my computer.
The BTO Plusdeck EX is available at ThinkGeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/digital-conversion/92cd/) at a price of $300

  1. I think you had me in mind when you picked this article (for the oldies) I have just bought a new car and to my surprise it had a cassette tape reader, I thought it was a bit out of date.

    You never know I might buy this just to be able to play my vinyls on.
    Although I'm not convinced that you have chosen an article that is of particular interest to you - you have completed the homework satisfactorily,
