Then it would be possible to automate the complete capture of two successive cassettes. As it is this unit requires baby sitting in order to physically reverse the side of each cassette. Also this unit uses the freeware Audacity. Pioneer also produce a dual cassette deck CT-W208R with autoreverse and tape A then B feature. Unfortunately it insists on replying tape A and B no less than 15 times!!!! However with the a Griffin iMic and Audacity any repeats can be easily deleted.

Which makes this model all the more special ... someone had the idea, put it to someone, got the funding and got it manufactured. Remarkable! I'd have thought that something the size of a Sony Walkman with a USB cable might have been a far better, more practical and cost-effective idea. I'd definitely buy something that size for around £25 - £35 max. I know — I did wonder what the point of a double decker was.

Surely the point of a USB tape deck is either (a) to transfer music from tape to computer audio, or (b) to transfer computer audio to tape? The ability to do tape to tape is hardly required, and most folk who still use tapes regularly probably already have a double tape deck machine. Why a twin tape deck?
