This review is from: Ion Audio USB Portable Tape-to-MP3 Player with Headphones (Electronics) After reading some of the reviews, you would swear that this was a piece of junk, however it was exactly what I needed to get these old recordings off of tape and into my iTunes! Granted, the player is made of plastic (chromed plastic). It's not something you'd want to abuse or tote around with you, but sitting on my desk it does the job it is intended to do. I just transferred a 20 year old musical recording of a friend of mine and now it's off of that old tape and into my system where I can back it up for the future. If you're looking for a cheap way to turn your tapes into MP3s, this is a great way to go. It was super simple. I loaded the software in about 2 minutes, plugged it into my Mac's USB port and pressed record and play...It's as easy as that! The only drawback is that if you want to separate your tape into separate songs, you do have to sit through the song and press "new track" on your screen. Otherwise, it's pretty great. If you want a super high-end...Read more 184 of 192 people found the following review helpful:  OK Hardware; HORRIBLE Software, This review is from: Ion Audio USB Portable Tape-to-MP3 Player with Headphones (Electronics) I spent several hours trying to copy a tape to my HD using the software that came with this unit. It was a NIGHTMARE! First of all, the software REQUIRES that you download and install iTunes (200+Mb.) or IT WILL NOT RUN. Second, the ion software lets you input the artist and titles, then switches you to iTunes where all the titles and artist info disappears. Thirdly, you can not go back to a previous screen without losing everything. The iTunes requirement was not divulged in the item description, in the advertising or on the box. This would be a deal-breaker for me if I had not purchased it on E-Bay. iTunes may be a great program for those who need it's features but, on my netbook, it is pure and simple bloatware. The program has many features I will never use and it sops up over 200 Mb of hard-drive space. In the end, I deleted the Ion software and iTunes and installed Audacity (about 2.0 Mb). Audacity was easier to use and required less than 1% of...Read more 64 of 65 people found the following review helpful:  If you learn how to use it, this baby is awesome, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Ion Audio USB Portable Tape-to-MP3 Player with Headphones (Electronics) I needed to convert my tape collection, and we tired of using headphone jacks. This thing is fantastic.
In response to other reviews: 1) The unit is plenty loud enough even with the cheapo included headphones 2) it's not meant to be used as a walkman. Don't try and you won't be disappointed. 3) The included software has good intentions. Poor execution. Use Audacity, not iTunes. Pros: 1) It's the right price 2) Easy operation 3) True plug and play on Vista. Just plug it into a USB port and it worked instantly with Audacity. Did you hear that? No driver problems! Very unexpected, very welcome. This gets ignored when it works well, but people complain about it when it doesn't work. 4) Loop feature. Turn on the tape, walk away, come back when it has done both sides. 5) Auto volume for recording. Don't have to mess with it. 6) No batteries, no power cords Cons: 1) Plastic body...Read more |
