Paco Hope #resist<p>And finally a little bit of info on what format this <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cassette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cassette</span></a> player records. First off, I tried <code>mpg123</code> and it barfed. Audacity has no trouble, and VLC has no trouble. I can't figure out how to get Audacity to show me the track format/info.</p><p>VLC says:</p><pre><code>Codec: MPEG Audio layer 1/2 (mpga)<br>Mono! (not stereo!)<br>Sample rate: 32000 Hz<br>Bits per sample: 32<br>Bitrate: 128 kb/s<br></code></pre><p>A cassette file that is 48:08 in duration created a 46Mb file. Basically 1Mb per minute.</p><p>Since I am digitizing an audio book, this is fine. But if I was digitizing stereo music, this would be pretty crappy.</p><p>Here's what <code>mpg123</code> has to say:</p><pre><code>MPEG 1.0 L II cbr128 32000 mono<br>&gt; 77840+02402 46:42.24+01:26.46 --- 100=100 128 kb/s 576 B acc 0 clip p+0.000<br>Note: Illegal Audio-MPEG-Header 0x00000000 at offset 44839872.<br>Note: Trying to resync...<br>Note: Skipped 1024 bytes in input.<br>[src/libmpg123/parse.c:wetwork():1406] error: Giving up resync after 1024 bytes - your stream is not nice...

Paco Hope #resist<p>The instructions for this <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cassette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cassette</span></a> drive are awesome too. </p><p>“The tape player comes with a USB cable with two Type-C connectors, one for powering the product, named Charging Cable, and one for data transmission, named Data Cable. <br>Note:<br>USB function is not able to transfer data with computer via data cable.<br>If you want USB functionality, please use a charging cable.
Do not use a data cable.</p>
Paco Hope #resist<p>I wanted to digitize some old <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cassette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cassette</span></a> tapes so I bought a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> cassette player. It comes with a bit of software (just Audacity) and that software is on a CD. It’s a cassette player: distribute your software on cassettes, cowards!</p><p>If it was good enough for my Vic 20, it’s good enough for you.</p>

Wow! I have been trying to find this #song for over four decades. I heard it on a #cassette tape and absolutely loved it. ❤️

I took it to my high school French #teacher, and in her usual helpful and encouraging manner she claimed she couldn't understand it at all and so couldn't help me with any aspect of #transcribing or even #translating it. 🙄

I could understand some of the words, but not enough of them to be able to ever hope to translate it. The few bits I caught led me to suspect it was a song about the Lord Randall poisoning story, but I see now that I am incorrect. 🙂

Gorgeous song nonetheless. ❤️❤️❤️
