 I was going to say that too! It made it in the magazine too! The April I belive, the one with a blackhawk on the cover.

It would be neat if you could write music onto a cassette with a usb flash drive

better still take apart a casette deck adaptor for a cd player/other devices and build a usb mp3 player into that, then just push play, and stick it in your cassette deck, hours of tunes on a single cassette, and no crap quality either!

it would be better if you hid the sliding bit more...instead of having a huge hole in the side of the case

true....but form shouldn't be sacrificed for function in a "non essential" item

you could cut a small slot in the top big enoh for a toothpic instead of on the side, and glue a toothpic to the back of the USB drive and have the toothpic come out the top so you could just push the toothpic.

I did this last year but never bothered documenting it. I made mine so the USB was hidden until you turn one of the spindles, and then it popped out.

Sweet! That looks really cool. I have a whole bunch of old tapes I could do this with. 5 stars and favorited.
