How long do media transfers take?

To transfer your audio cassettes or DAT (Digital Audio Tapes) we need to play it through in real time – so if it’s a 1-hour tape it will take 1-hours to transfer. Once we’ve transferred the tape we then need to export the file and copy it onto to your USB/hard drive/CD, depending on the size of the file this can take a little while. Generally we’d allow for a few days to complete an order of multiple tape transfers.

If you need your audio cassettes or DAT (Digital Audio Tapes) transferred quickly please let us know ahead of time so we can accommodate tight deadlines

Is there are bulk discount for large orders?

Unfortunately we don’t offer a discount for large orders.

What happens if a tape is too old to play?

We’ll make every effort to transfer all of your tapes – sometimes tapes are old and unfortunately they can’t be transferred. We only charge for tapes that are successfully transferred.

What size USB do I need to put my audio cassettes or DAT (Digital Audio Tapes) onto?

Great questions – As a rule-of-thumb, most audio cassettes are under 1GB data once transferred.

It’s important to keep in mind that the actual storage space on a USB or hard drive is usually around 80%, as a rule of thumb, of what was advertised. That means if you have an 8GB USB you may only be able to fit 7GB of data on there.
