No. This record player does not do anything besides playing records (despite what it claims it does) I bought this for my fiancé last year for Christmas and the CD player wouldn't open nor would the cassette tape work. I returned the model and got a new one figuring that it was just a small defect. However, when I got the second model, it also failed to work! I wouldn't buy this! It is a waste of money and I had a terrible time trying to return it both times..

Wouldn't know. That's the purpose for which I bought it, but the cassette player didn't work at all. Returned it. Run away, run away!

The answer is yes H. P. The actual process is a bit tricky since it starts recording when it wants to and there is no way to manually start the recording yourself. However I have found a method to record mp3s on it despite that dysfunctional flaw. You will too. Btw The idiots who can't figure out how to flip the voltage switch are laughable. I bought mine off eBay for $39.99 because the seller thought it was a faulty product. One flip of the switch later and I got a fully functional system for chump change. ^_^

The purpose of this product is to convert cassette tape audio to a MP3 format for digital storage.

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!

You can record on cassette from almost any input. I recommend getting the manual and reading through it here: http://www.pyleaudio.com/sku/PTTCSM60/Turntable-Boombox-Multimedia-System---Plays-AMFM-Radio,-CDs,-Cassettes,-MP3s,---USBSD-Memory-Ports-and-Vinyl-to-MP3-Encoding It isn't written very well, but it outline all features in detail.

I use it play into my PC so I can convert cassettes to mp3s. To do so, I use RCA outputs (color wires) into a capture device (EZ Cap available at Amazon). Things work fine. So to answer your question everything will sound fine but you need to look at what can be plugged into your receiver. What wires go into stereo receivers these days. Take a look at what jacks are on your receiver and then do an Internet search for the manual for this tape deck (I'm not at work now to see what is on the back). If they match, you are in business, if not, go to Radio Shack or Best Buy and ask them what connectors might be needed to make the wiring compatibile (old to new). That is your only concern.

Not in and of itself, but if your computer does not have a cd drive (like a MacBook Air, retina MacBook Pro, current Mac mini or IMac) this will allow itunes to read and rip your cd and then convert to mp3

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.

Yes, provided you have a program to burn audio CDs, but the quality will be less than the original cd. You make MP3s off the cassette, then burn the CD from the folder of MP3s. Win 7 and above has the Burn CD function included in Windows (file) Explorer. Not sure about XP, or anything Apple.

Yes, you can listen to tapes on it, but if you want to convert from tape to mp3, you need a flash drive (they're pretty cheap).

Hello......Yes, this plays cassettes too...I also have a large collection of them that I don't want to give up, so this fits the bill!

Yes, I make a lot of burned CDs in WAVE format, original CD format, I have not tried MP3's in it on a disk.

This unit will not because it doesn't record. To do this you would need to record to your computer, convert to MP3's (this unit will allow you to do this easily, and then you would need a digital cassette recorder to copy your MP3's. This would take specialized equipment both to record and to play as standard cassettes are analog.

yes it would not import to iTunes - I had to look for songs under recent downloads then drag to iTunes and if your cassette was old and warped it will sound like that warped - and for the price it was not worth but maybe 20 bucks and that is what I sold it for a week after I got it.

I have not tried that, but I have done it the other way around ... cassette to CD. I have found the unit to be very versatile and I've been very pleased with it. Note, however, that I am not a music or stereo equipment aficionado.

You leave a lot of questions as to what you are doing. I personally don't use the ION software and iTunes. I use Audacity and another MP3 player. I've converted over 600 cassettes so far. With Audacity you can do a lot of "cleaning up" of the tracks like "noise removal", "normalize", "amplify'', etc. Let us know what you are doing.

nope!! you can go to audible's website to confirm but I have tried repeatedly - not able to convert... unless you copy it to a cd and then copy to the player
