Audio Tape to Digital Service
Convert audio tape to digital with easy UPS Store drop-off, free repairs, and credit for blanks. Stream, share, or download from your secure digital vault.
Covert Audio Tape to Digital
Cassette tapes weren’t made to last. With time, your audio tape degrades, the magnetic media weakens, and playback becomes impossible. The longer you wait, the more memories are lost. Heirloom makes it simple to convert audio tapes to digital so you can rescue your moments before it's too late.
"Tape to CD" is a Mistake
Plastic discs are just another form of obsolete & fragile media. CD/DVDs easily scratch, become unreadable, and are no longer used on modern computers. Don’t make copies of your memories to a format that’s already outdated... future-proof audio content on Heirloom’s secure cloud!
Cloud Preservation
Heirloom labels your cassette tapes with matching digital filenames for easy organization. Add searchable descriptions and stream your audio from your secure Heirloom account, anytime. With multiple data center backups, your memories stay safe from fire, floods, and life’s uncertainties.
Convert Tapes to Portable MP3
Heirloom converts audio from all sides of each cassette tape to MP3 digital audio files that are downloadable to play on any device. Unaware of the original source, your audio will be converted to 128 kilobits per second (kbps) digital audio. This is the same quality format used by other popular streaming services.
Cassette Tape Repair
Heirloom provides free repair for audio cassette tapes! Our experts splice tapes to make your audio playable. While most repairs succeed, we can't guarantee recovery from every cassette received, especially forensics of digital audio tape (DAT).
Why Audio Tape to DVD Isn't Enough
Cassette tape to DVD was once the gold standard—but DVDs degrade too. They scratch, rot, and aren't portable. Heirloom gives you a modern solution: audio you can stream, share, or download anytime, from anywhere, on any device.
Drop Off at Any UPS Store
To transfer cassette tape to digital, just drop off your box of tapes at any UPS Store. Heirloom provides round-trip UPS shipping, transparent pricing, and order completion within two weeks.
What Happens After We Receive Your Tapes?
On the day your shipment arrives at Heirloom, you’ll receive an email with a detailed, itemized invoice. We’ll sort it all and show exactly what you sent. You only pay for what you want digitized—no hidden fees.
