AUDIO MEDIA TRANSFER SERVICE

Cassette Tapes & Audio Media

That cassette in the junk drawer still has music on it. So does the reel-to-reel in the closet, and the stack of vinyl your parents left behind. The recordings are still there — but the tapes and the players won't last forever. Magnetic media degrades over time, and working equipment to play it is becoming nearly impossible to track down. Linhoff Photo converts cassette tapes, reel-to-reel recordings, vinyl records, and DAT tapes to digital audio files at our St. Louis Park location. You'll get clean MP3 or WAV files ready to save, share, and actually listen to again.

The Easiest Way to Preserve Music or Recordings

Audio conversion is growing in popularity as younger generations embrace all things analog. Whether you're preserving a family archive or just want to finally hear what's on that unlabeled tape from the 80s, we handle a wide range of formats — including cassette tapes, compact cassettes, DAT tapes, vinyl LPs and 45s, and reel-to-reel recordings. Each format requires different equipment and expertise, and our team has experience with all of them. We can also clean up the sound during transfer, reducing pops, hiss, and background noise so your files come out sounding their best. Not sure what specific media you have? No problem — bring it in and our audio preservation experts will take a look and walk you through your options.

Dig out those old cassettes, records, and reel-to-reel tapes — the mixtape from 1988, your dad's vinyl collection, a recording of a voice you haven't heard in years. If it made sound once, there's a good chance we can bring it back.

Every tape and record is inspected, cleaned, and carefully transferred in-house by our Knoxville team. We capture clean, high-quality audio and convert it to digital files — no outsourcing, no shipping your irreplaceable recordings away.

Your finished audio files are delivered on a USB drive or via digital download — ready to play on any device, add to a playlist, or share with family. Your original tapes and records are always returned to you.
