Audio
Compare the cost of digitizing audio cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes, and vinyl records.
Why digitize audio?
Cassette tapes, reel-to-reel, and vinyl carry recordings that no longer have easy playback options. Digitizing captures the audio as files before tape binder breaks down or records get scratched.
How pricing works
Audio is usually priced per item — per cassette, per reel, or per record — sometimes with a length cap per item. Larger reel-to-reel reels can require a quote. Enter your counts above for a normalized total.
How to identify what you have
Audio cassettes are the small tapes with two visible spools. Reel-to-reel uses open audio reels (not home-movie film). Vinyl records are LPs or singles you want captured as audio.
What do the confidence labels mean?
- exact published price: Taken directly from the provider's current published price.
- estimated published price: Bounded from official pages where an exact figure isn't listed.
- partial estimate: Some fees (e.g. shipping or checkout-only charges) aren't fully confirmed.
- quote required: The provider doesn't publish enough to compute a confident total.
- conflicting sources: Official surfaces disagree — verify on the provider's site before ordering.
Frequently asked questions

Per-cassette pricing commonly lands around $15–$30, often with a maximum length per tape. Enter your count above for a normalized total.
Do you handle reel-to-reel audio?
Some providers do, but larger reels may need a custom quote. Where a provider can't give a firm published price, the result is labeled quote-required rather than guessed.
