I have been tinkering with the idea of purchasing a cassette to MP3 device for some time and after reviewing the comments about the ION device I decided to go with this unit instead and I’m pretty happy that I did. The unit is quit well made and has a solid feel to it. The installation of the software is very simple and was up and running within 5 minutes.
The item does exactly what it says on the tin, and I would of given it a 5 apart from a few little issues with the software, these are the software will automatically set a file name for the MP3 which is being recorded which can only be re-named once the conversion has completed, and on a few times when I have completed the recording the software reports an error and shuts down, but a as a work around I have found if you pause the recording first then stop it the software does not crash.
With all said and done this is a great little device to transfer cassettes to MP3’s

The company that sold me this device were brilliant. They delivered it extremely quickly, so quick that I wasn’t expecting it! The product arrived in good condition with all parts.
The product itself is easy enough to use. However, I would recommend not installing the software that comes with it. Just use the sound recorder than comes with Windows. For some reason I could never get the software to see the device, I’m using Windows 7, so I just recorded using the sound recorder mentioned.
All in all, an excellent product!

Like first review I too have been looking for a simple casette converter but after reading other product reviews decided against until this one.
I decided to give it a go after reading J Palmer review and very pleased I did. Software Installed on a Vista Laptop no problem. Instructions not too good as input control for recording is also the volume control but once I became aware no problem.I thought the levels were fixed on unit and adjusted on computer. So far have Copied 3 45min audio recordings no problem. Lets hope it proves reliable as have lots of tapes.
