does it really can convert cassette tape directly to USB in MP3 format?

Basically yes. I found it very flaky to operate. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it would not. i is a very cheaply made devise and after about 6 cassettes it broke and i had to throw it away. My advise to you is DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

Yes I have that system. I only used it to convert my cassettes and it worked fine.

Update: I've just tried it with both Roxio and AVS and neither recognize the device as audio. Elgato software does not give you the option of recording strictly the audio portion. You could still create a video file through Elgato, then convert the video file to audio, then edit the sound properties in another program like Roxio. There are audio only devices and software available from Amazon for converting LPs and cassette tapes. I've even seen a cassette player pc device that plugs directly into your usb, although I'm not sure if it's still available. Your computer should already come with an "audio in" mini plug, when used with a mini-plug to RCA audio jacks "Y" cable connected to the cassette's audio out would work just as well. To use it with a turntable you would need a pre-amplifier, unless the turntable comes with one built-in, otherwise the sound would be way too low to use. Sorry about the first answer but I assumed it would work. There may be a video accessory that allows audio only but not the Elgato.

Although I have not tried to do this as yet, the owner's manual says that this Sony will record cassettes from radio and from CDs. I recommend you try to download the owner's manual from the Sony website. I have done that with several other electronics purchases in the past few years.

Not directly. You would need to copy the cassettes to a computer and then copy them onto a CD.

I don't see why not. I haven't done much with the converting to digital functions of this machine. But it does have a cassette port, I'd imagine it's similar to digital conversion of LPs. Good luck, let us know how it turns out!

If your MP3 player can record in stereo from the tape deck then yes it can. Make sure you use the proper cable.

I would think it would, we have recorded from LP to CD....real simple instructions and there are instructions for Cassette to CD.

I have never tried it, but you can. The USB is useful for just copying one piece from the computer in order to listen to it on your hifi or to copy just one piece from a cassette or a vinyl in order to make a compilation.

Not directly. You have to transfer your cassette to itunes on your computer, then you can make a CD.

On finding that the CDs made with the machine might or might not work on any other machine I pretty much resigned myself to using it as a cassette player, but have not found if it can do what you are asking about. The guide to how to use it is vague about it's supposed purposes and I have found it more that difficult to interpret.

The answer to your question, unfortunately, is no. This unit is primarily for transferring your music from cassette and LP to CD. There is also a very fine radio included, if that type of copying interests you.

Yes it does and you'll find an honest review here: http://www.everythingusb.com/ion-tape-express-usb-cassette-archiver-19275.html

I believe you can record onto a cassette FROM a CD, but not the other way around.

I believe it can work for books on cassette the same way it does it for music. Hope you will be satisfied with the results; if not, you can always delete it. Good luck!

Sadly no. If you can convert the 'wma' (Windows Media) to a mp3 then you can download it to the 'cassette' MP3 player. You can usally download a free program from 'Cnet.com' on thier site under downloads. Hope this helps you!

No- I haven't even been able to successfully get music from the tape to the computer with this converter. The instructions are ambiguous and the music file it produces just sound garbled. Don't waste your money on this product.
