Abstract

A digital-audio electronic cassette that is functionally interchangeable with the conventional tape cassette is described. The electronic cassette provides digital-audio data in a package and format that is compatible with the shape and size of the tape cassette. A signal processor in the electronic cassette converts the stored digital-audio data in a format such as WAV or MP3 into a digital data stream that is converted into an analog signal and provided to a transducer that is magnetically coupled to tape read head in a conventional cassette tape player. A display and controls on the electronic cassette allow a user to view the names of the digital-audio files and manipulate the files. The digital-audio sound files are stored in internal memory or in removable memory. The electronic cassette can be used in conventional analog tape recorder to produce digital-audio files that can be uploaded to a computer.
