Micro Cassette Transfer Service to MP3
We offer a high-quality Micro Cassette transfer service to MP3 digital files, we never transfer and convert straight to MP3 files as this can produce poor results. We use a Sony M-530v which is connected directly to a Sony DTC-750 D.A.T recorder using the Phono (RCA) cables, the signal is then passed to our computer using the optical digital out connection to offer the best transfer possible. Once we have your Cassette captured, we will use the latest restoration software to reduce the background hiss that can make your cassettes sound annoying.
As standard, we will provide a track for each side of the Cassette, we do offer an optional track splitting service. Before transferring your Cassettes we will inspect them for any damage that may cause issues when transferring. Once we have converted the transferred audio we will convert it to the required audio file format of your choice. As standard, we will capture your audio at 16 bit 44.1 kHz as this is normal CD quality and will cause the least issues with devices such as phones, smart TVs or Media players. If you are looking for 24 bit 48 kHz files then please let us know and we can capture at the higher bitrate and frequency.
As standard, we will encode at a constant bitrate of 320 kbps offering a smaller file size but retaining quality. Once your files are created they can be transferred to a USB drive or uploaded for you to download. You are welcome to supply your own USB drive or alternatively we can supply a. high-speed Sandisk USB 3 Ultraflair drive for an additional cost starting at £9.00 for a 16GB drive.
We offer a digital download service for a cost of £10.00 per order with our digital download service you will be supplied a download link that will be active for 28 days to allow you to download your files. The link can be used as often as you like allowing you to download multiple copies of your files making it easier to have backup copies. If you require longer to download your files just let us know before the end of the 28 days and we will be happy to extend the time at no extra cost.
Additional Services
We offer a few upgrade options such as track splitting or editing services if required. The cost for track splitting is £5.00 per Cassette, track splitting is possible as long as there is a gap between tracks.

I tried to book this via the website, but it would not accept my payment, so I emailed them with the issue. Within an hour he had rung me to apologise and explained he had tried as well, the fault was technical with the website. He arranged to receive them without payment, and to let me know. Within 2 days he had started on the micro cassettes, and advised of a number blank, but undertook to examine them all. A week later I had the micro cassettes back with my USB memory stick with recordings from 5 cassettes. Quality customer service, always kept me updated with phone call or email and charged a very reasonable rate for the prompt service provided. Family recordings of my father and relatives preserved! Top quality service at a reasonable price.
