If you have reached a certain age you most likely made at least one mixtape in your life. Whether you made it as a declaration of your love or only to have all your favorite songs in one place, it probably required a lot of work. The result was undeniably great and brought a lot of satisfaction. Creating the perfect mixtape was never easy. Until now, at least. The modern life MIXXTAPE might look a lot like your traditional cassette did, but it’s a lot easier to handle. Also, it can house several thousand songs, instead of a dozen, like traditional cassettes did.
MIXXTAPE is an audio player made by Mixxim. It looks just like a cassette. It is the same size, only its carbon fiber finish differentiates it from your old tapes. At least until you notice the LCD display and the touchpad on it. While the former allows you to see what’s playing, the latter enables users to easily toggle between tracks. You might wonder how you can record the songs on this “cassette”. Actually, it’s easier than ever. The MIXXTAPE features a microUSB port, so users can easily connect it to your PC or Mac in order to transfer all your favorite jams to your modern mixtape. The gadget comes with an 8GB micrSD card, but it supports up to 64GB, which is enough to store a great number of songs on it.
Users will have several playback options with the MIXXTAPE. It has a 3.5mm audio jack, so one of the obvious options is listening to music via headphones. However, it also offers Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, allowing users to pair the MIXXTAPE with a Bluetooth speaker and listen to their favorite jams like that. The third, and probably the coolest option is playing the MIXXTAPE with your old cassette player. The music player actually features a magnetic head, making it compatible with the majority of cassette players. This is extremely cool, we must admit.
The MIXXTAPE even has its own 330mAh battery, which provides up to 12 hours of playback. When you run out juice, you will be able to recharge it super quickly thanks to its fast charging support. As for the music, you can listen to almost any audio format on the MIXXTAPE. It supports MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, and more audio formats. You can basically listen to any type of songs on it. Even more, the MIXXTAPE comes with preloaded music. All you need to do in order to get one of these cool gadgets is back the Kickstarter project with at least $40. The estimated retail price of the device will be double, so the initial investment would definitely pay off.
It’s not only a great music player to own, it could also turn into an extremely nice gift for someone you love. Of course, you could also give an iPod as a present, or any other audio player, but the MIXXTAPE somehow feels more personal. Especially if you give it to someone who already received a mixtape from you back when they were cool.
