Title: Bluetooth tape / Would this works?
Post by: kamelie1706 on 17:33, 07 July 20
Hi


Has anyone tried one of those?

I have seen videos with the 3.5mm audio jack but not bluetooth.


It would be fun!

I have one of these adapters to beam stuff from my phone to a cassette player from about 84.
Haven't tried it on a CPC yet as I'm in the process of moving house, but I'll give it a go.

I'm not holding out much hope though as the volume isn't great, so I'd say certain loaders will be picky as shit.

The fact that 48% of buyers said it was shit for any sort of audio playback would suggest that it probably isn't going to be of much use in a CPC.

So it is just a matter of sound amplification?

You can't really go after the Amazon reviews... take any conventional cassette adapter and you get the same picture. And they work great with the CPC. All of these solutions will have a better signal than shitty old cassettes. I am pretty sure that works well - if you can figure out how Bluetooth works on your phone (I guess 90% of the reviewers didn't find the bluetooth settings :D ) The audio quality requirements for the CPC are very low. Even (lossy) MP3 encoding works perfectly fine.

See, where this thing is really needed is with the Sharp MZ-700. The cassette pocket is too narrow there for the adapter cable. So bluetooth would be great.
