What's great about it: Music sounds better than it ever did
What's not so great: Transfer from cassette to computer is real time.
Easy to follow instructions. Product works as stated with little computer knowledge. Was able to transfer all of my cassette tapes to MP3 player and the quality of the digital sound is fantastic!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use
I needed a product to convert cassette audio tapes of speeches from conferences to my iPod so I can listen to them on my walks. This product does exactly what I need with easy-to-understand instructions. I especially like that I got all of the necessary cables and connectors with the software, so I didn't need to hunt around for the right items. I also appreciate that once a setting is determined, the system defaults to that setting for the next use, i.e., "Capture From" and "Input."
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Does what it says, and doesn't require a degree in computer engineering to figure out how to use it.
What's not so great: Track break detection could be a bit better, but still not bad.
I have a collection of old music cassettes, many of which are out of print, and/or were never released to digital format. I picked up the Roxio Easy LP to MP3 in order to start digitizing some of the old cassettes, before they finally end up unplayable.
The Roxio software installed quickly and easily on my Windows 7 laptop. The USB converter drivers installed without a fuss, and everything I needed to connect the old cassette boombox (or most other audio devices) to the computer was included. The basic instructions will get you started, and the longer I used it this evening, the more I liked it. The software automatically inserts track breaks when it detects silence for a given interval, meaning you can start the tape and let it run straight through. With cassettes or LPs that have two sides, you can hit 'pause' and switch to the other side.
One of the tapes had a few tracks with quiet spots, that caused the software to insert track breaks in the middle of songs. The editing software made it very easy to remove these breaks, and to adjust where the breaks needed to be to accommodate the actual start/stop of each song. There is also a utility included to insert album, artist, and track title information, and the ripped audio can then be recorded to CD, DVD, or saved as any one of several formats on your hard drive.
I expect to get quite a bit of use out of this software/utility, and compared to the cost of replacing all the old cassettes (assuming I could buy the albums on CD now), it will soon pay for itself. This one's a winner, in my opinion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had to return this product ----- the "plumbing" on the unit I was going to use is not compatible. I cannot say enough positive things about the help and treatment I received from the store at I-35 and Heritage Trace when I went in to make the return.
I would recommend this to a friend!
