Works Great!March 15, 2010 K. L. Shupp(PA) The ADS Tech InstantMusic device works great! I wanted to convert my cassette tapes into cd's. At first, I thought I had a problem because none of my boomboxes that played cassettes had earphone jacks. Fortunately, we found my husband's little cassette recorder. You just plug the cords from the device into the earphone jack. You plug the device into your computer with a usb cord which is provided. The device comes with software that installs on your computer and then takes you step by step through the process. I think it was well worth the approximately $40 that I spent. My cd's have turned out great - no sound quality issues at all.
Nice productDecember 5, 2009 Michael Justus(NE) Took me a little bit to figure out how to use it with the Garage Band App (the directions for MAC aren't great), but once I got it it's pretty slick. What a great way to reconnect with all my old cassette music. I would recommend it.
To my satisfactionDecember 2, 2009 Marvin A. Trzcinski(23323) The product performs flawlesly.
Amazon handled a lost shipping situation just perfectly to my delight.
LP to CDJuly 29, 2009 Bette A. Maron(Napa, CA) This device did the job. However, I actually had to buy a turntable and new amplifier to use with it. I think there are products out there that do it all in one package and which would be that much easier to use. It would've been a shame to loose all the music that I had collected over decades, so I am glad that I did convert the albums which I did. However, because the process required that I get out all the pieces of equipment that I mentioned above, along with my laptop, it isn't a job that I eagerly do as much as I should.
good idea, bad software and supportApril 23, 2009 George Murphy(chicago) I wish I would have read the reviews first before buying. I got the version for MAC and it has been three frustrating days now and still no copy of my tapes to CD. Although it took some time to figure out how to get it to work, I have been able to make a music file and save it on my hard drive. However I cannot get the file to burn to CD, go to itunes or export in any manner,nor can I register the product or get any customer support. I can't even send to "toast" as it wants me to purchase a new copy for $100 more dollars.The key code on the cd sleeve always says wrong id number when entered. The Phone number on the web site has a recording that says I've reached the wrong line and hangs up. And there is no answer to emails that i've sent. I've decided to take the item back. I'm sorry to say It hasn't been worth any of the time invested.
