After the warranty expired, the drive motor quit, but honestly for the price point paid that's not much of a loss. The Audacity software (and the LAME.dll to allow exporting MP3's to your iTunes library) that is included fabulous. The fact that it is also open-source freeware is an added bonus the version shipped is outdated, but can easily be updated after your initial install and your preferences set will be remembered if you choose to update Audacity. It was a bit of a surprise that the cassette player has an auto-reverse mode.

When your converter eventually quits on you (or even if it still works for that matter), you can easily capture your cassette library using any stereo cassette deck, an RCA to 3.5mm Y-cable hooked up to the line-in input on your PC and you're golden.

I was worried about some of the reviews I read but had no trouble with this item. It does exactly what I bought it for. Load up the included software, place your old cassette in the unit and press play. Hit the record button on the on-screen menu to record your tracks. From there you can very easily save them as an mp3 file to your hard drive. I'm very pleased with this item and you can't beat the price.

When I got this device I figured it would be one of those flawless plug&play devices that you simply hook up and have fun with. Nope. It takes all sorts of manipulation to get it to work. First the software and driver disk they sent was old. So I had to update the software, which changed the whole instruction booklet, etc. Second when I needed help, no one was available. So I had to figure it all out myself. So now, you plug the thing in. Start the software, configure the device, try to record something, the software then fails (every time) until you boot it up again (just the software, not the whole computer...thankfully), the you have to unplug it and plug it back in, put in cassette, press play, then hit record on the software. If it shows the graphic sound lines, you are recording! Yea! That all works fine. Then you first SAVE the recording project, then EXPORT the recording to MP3. Then start the entire process over again with another tape. Exasperating. And if the recording device is too close to the computer a constant clicking noise is also heard...and recorded, by the device. There's literally no way to pause it and start again. (Almost none of the pause, replay, and other function buttons on the software screen actually work. Seriously, I suggest getting a little more expensive and updated device.

Want Tape to PC Super USB Cassette-to-MP3 Converter Capture Audio Music Player with Headphones Discount?

ill edit this later if it conks out after a week like the other reviewer said but on day 1 this is working ok after some tweaks

youll need to download newer audacity software from sourcefourge:

audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows

and then plug in the USB that connects to the cassette player, this will effectively install the driver you need

youll want to go into audacity Edit, Preferences, and change the input to whatever says USB. i believe its USB PnP or something like that, also change the input channels to Stereo

then hit play on the cassette player, and record on audacity, and it should record

Very good value for the money. When I finished, the CD was better quality than the tape I started with.
