iPod shuffle as tape drive for old sk00l Amstrad

by Fabienne Serriere Nov 21st 2005 at 1:00PM

amstradOur boy Eliot over at HackADay dug up this tasty little use for an iPod shuffle.  HackADay reader sbeam (aka Peter Boné) wrote up a simple way to get a clean read of a tape for a casette driven computer:

  1. Grab a tape version of your file (.cdt or .tzx)
  2. Convert to .wav with PlayTZX
  3. Transfer said .wav files to your iPod Shuffle (or other iPod)
  4. Attach a cassette adapter
  5. Plug cassette end into your Amstrad or other tape reader

This is super yummy. What a simple way to make sure you have the cleanest tape recording possible!

Useless. Why not hook a GPS to your lawn mower, so, as you mow, you're sure that you're in the right city.

I hate it when people use "yummy" to describe anything that isn't food. *barf*
