 Be sure you know what this does - and does not - do before you buy it. December 31, 2008

This review is about the current (works with Windows Vista) version of the product. The devil is in the details. If you flip the box over, in fine print, you will see that this product will not work if you plug your turntable directly into it. Tape decks and other audio products can be plugged in directly and will work fine; but not turntables. If you want to transfer LPs, you need to dig out your receiver or amplifier with phono jack inputs, bring it to your computer work area, and then connect this product to your receiver or amplifier. Either that or buy a separate phono preamp to use instead. The packaging and advertising says the box contains everything you need. Yes, if you are just doing tapes. No, if you want to do LPs or 45 RPMs.

I used this product on 25-year-old home-recorded cassette tapes and was amazed at both how easy the INport was to use, but also at the great quality of finished product. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has old cassette tapes they wish to preserve by converting them to CD format!
Great Product that is Very User Friendly November 15, 2008
I have been looking for a long time for an easy way to convert old audio cassettes to CD's. Most of the products I had seen looked too complicated and the ones that looked simple had gotten bad reviews.
After reading positive technical and consumer reviews of this product, I decided to order it. I LOVE IT.
I am running Windows XP and it took about 30 minutes from the time I opened the box until I was recording the first cassette to my hard drive. The instructions are concise and easy to follow. The only thing that was left out of the intsructions was to make sure you have your audio playback settings in the recorder set to your sound card. It defaults to Inport and I could not hear what I was recording until I made that change.
The included software to remove pops and clicks is pretty basic. You may need something else for noise removal. I first downloaded audacity which is free for download. I found it difficult to use. I found another free program called recordpad which worked well and was more user friendly.
I would recommend this product to anyone who has lots of tapes and/or LP's and wants a quick and simple method to convert them.
It is great!

First of all, I only gave it 4 stars because there are no conversion utilities. At least on a PC, you can only produce a large WAV file, you have to find some other product to convert it to a smaller, exchangeable format (MP3). iTunes seems to do the job well, so there is no need to spend extra money.
I used Windows Vista to test the product, and no drivers were needed for it to work. Just plug it in an USB port and start recording from any analog device.
After the device is connected, the only sound you will hear from your PC is from the device input. So dont spend an hour, (like me), trying to figure out why my speakers no longer worked. Just unplug the device and all the sound will work agian.
Pros:
The device is simple.
The sound is very good.
Cons:
Seems a little expensive for what you get (comes with a cable, but you can get it anywhere for a couple of bucks).
No conversion utilities.
Bottom Line:
If what you want is a great recording, and a simple to use device. This product does the job nicely. But are there cheaper products out there, that do the same thing, you may want to look around.

This product is great for transfering your cassette collection to CD. Unlike other products out there, there is no microphone recording involved. Make all of the background noise you want - none of it gets picked up in the recording. It is easy to install and get started and the software that comes with it is basic but good. You can use other remastering programs such as MAGIX to clean up the audio file and you use your computer's own burning program to create the CD. Sound quality with this product is as good as the original cassette. It does save as a WAV. file, though - separate free software needs to be downloaded to convert to MP3 - and WAV files are rather large. If you get an adapter (@ $8 at Radio Shack) you can import out of the headphone jack of a boom box or stereo so no need to have a tape deck. Bottom line, this product does exactly what it says it will and it does it well.
