USB Audio Capture Card Grabber for Vinyl Cassette Tapes to Digital MP3 Converter, Support Mac & Windows 10/8.1/8 / 7 / Vista/XP

Received yesterday as listed. In the box is the Audio to USB converter, audio accessories (3.5mm female to female audio connector and 3.5mm female to 2 RCA male audio connector), software on small CD (3") and printed instruction manual with contact information (Email and phone numbers). The audio end cable is about 5" long and has the standard red and white RCA audio and a 3.5mm male audio jack. The PC end cable is about 30" long with a USB A port (1.0 or 1.1). The converter itself is about 3" long, 1" wide and 1/2" thick. It is true PNP on Windows 11 Pro. I plugged the USB end into a front USB 2.0 port on my desktop, and it immediately shows up as "USB microphone" in device manager (It has a built in LED power light). I put the small 3" CD in my DVD R/RW drive and just follow the instructions (Make sure to pick Windows or MAC OS in Audacity folder). If you do not have an optical drive, you can go to "Audacityteam.org" for a free download. The included manual, though not necessarily in the best English, is very helpful and fairly straightforward. I had no need for the included audio accessories, but nice to have depending on someone else's particular set up (Will need separate 3.5mm audio cable). I put it to the test with an old turntable and vinyl LP record and the 3 songs I picked worked fine and played as MP3 on my computer. I am planning to transfer some songs from old 33 vinyl records (Eventually burn them to CD's) before I get rid of all my vinyl albums and turntable to declutter my space. I was planning to do the same with old cassettes, but my ancient full size Studio Fisher tape deck kicked the bucket, and I threw it in the trash with all my 40 years+ old cassette collections (Not sure if they still work and didn't feel like buying a cheap small battery-operated handheld cassette player). So yes, this little gadget actually works and no issue on initial use. Good first impression and recommend. Thank you.

Used many times for the Juke 6 units that we’ve deployed. Works flawlessly.

I was able to use this to transfer an audio cassette to an mp3 on my computer, but a few caveats: 1.) the Audacity software that comes with this product is an ancient version ("compatible with Windows 98"). Download your own current version - it's free. 2.) You will need an male-male audio cable if you are transferring from a component cassette deck. This is the Red/White cable you use to connect components to an amplifier. 3.) This unit works as a USB microphone, from the point of view of your computer. You'll need to change your computer settings to use this microphone instead of your built-in mike. This is easy.

Worked great, just as advertised. Plug & play. I have already been using Audacity for years, so it was even easier for me than for most. I digitized some very rare analog recordings thus saving them from oblivion. Money well spent

It's well-suited for transferring recordings from cassettes to a computer. The software that came with the device didn't work very well, but I used WavePad from NCH Software instead.

Stay away from this product. I'm using Windows 10. When you plug in the hardware, my PC cannot 'Find It', as the instructions claim it should. When running the mini-cd, it does not self-load. To confirm the hardware was installed it prompts you to "Right click 'My Computer' and select 'Properties' and select 'Hardware Option' and select 'Hardware' How old is the version of Windows was this written for ? They include a link for the software 'Audacity', which is not worth the hours you would spend learning this package just to make copies of a couple of dozen of your old cassette recordings. I left a message for their tech support, but of course there's been no response for 2 days. I have returned this to Amazon.

I bought this product to convert some of my cassette tapes to digital MP3s. I can say I was able to record one song from one tape, so I guess it did work out of the box. However, after this initial learning experience of how to use the program things took a turn for the worse. The instructions are very generic and do not provide a lot of specifics on using the settings. Some of the images are not the same thing that shows on the screen in application. It requires patience to be able to get it to work correctly. One area I have not been able to get it to do, is hearing the audio prior to recording. It make it challenging to cue up your desired music prior to beginning the recording. I have correctly this by editing out the silence prior to the start, but is a step you have to do without being able to monitor the input prior to recording. Over all it is allowing me to accomplish the transfer of my music, but it does make it as easy as the description would indicate.

Got this to preserve old cassette tapes and save them onto my laptop. It works great.
