It's stupid that this thing apparently can't record from a computer or line-in onto cassette.
It's also unclear whether it can digitize music from cassette onto a computer with high quality, and if it can't do that that would also be stupid.
The article states that the usb-c port is just for charging, so that should answer all your questions with a solid “No, it cannot do any of that”.
Digitising should be a given but as long as it has a high quality audio jack you can do it through that.
Recording onto cassette is different though because doesn't that need a specific writer head?
It doesn't necessarily require a different tape head for recording, but ideally a different head is used. For recording it should have an erase head though, otherwise you're recording over what is already on the tape. Digitising tape in high quality requires a good playback mechanism that has low wow and flutter, I doubt this thing has that, most recent portable cassette players had the same bad mechanism.
Why stupid? It's cool to have analog-only things.
Recording from line in was the way to make mix tapes. Seems like it's missing the record function completely
