I want to convert all my old music cassettes to my Windows 7 Media player. Will it automatically put them in an MP3 form? I won't put into ITunes.

it does i am running this on a mac and converted them onto ITunes but you dont have to you can stop the process it works great and will let you choose if you want to separate the tracks so when its done you can name them

I think the software included only works with ITunes. You'd have to use Audacity or another software.

I have not attempted to run this program without iTunes, so I don't know what would happen after you were done recording. I can tell you that it records a temp file, and it isn't until everything gets labelled that its exported to iTunes.

Yes, it was easily downloaded off a mini disc. I've converted a couple cassettes to mp3 on my iPod. It's pretty easy to work.

Thank you for your wonderful and detailed reply. iTunes is a mp4 format and not compatable with mp3 and dragging an iTunes into Windows Media Player crashes the program. However since I posted this, I found a free conversion program at mediacoderhq.com. You have to get into the program but converting mp4 (iTunes) format to mp3 is easy. I was able to save the information from the previous iTunes format. However, all new discs that are being added to the Windows library is strictly going directly into WMP. That way I'm able to get the art work, organize the files and so on. Thanks for your help.

For my purposes (to back up elderly LPs), I use CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) in my machine, then transfer them to my computer (into iTunes). Then, I can move them to my iPod, if desired.

Hi,I wouldn't give up because it won't play WMA audio books as there are a lot of free programs available on the web that will convert WMA to MP3. It is an easy process and can be done in the background while you are working on other projects on the computer.ITunes and Windows Media Player will convert the files as well.There are lots of places on the net where you can download MP3 audiobooks without charge. Check out Librivox.org, gutenberg.org, and archive.org for free audiobooks.

Yes, the one i have saves the audio files in .wav format. This opens up fine with windows media player, I just tested it.

Actually on Windows, I convert my CD's to mp3 using the included Microsoft Media Player. Under the "rip music" tab in the preference you can select the format as "mp3" and dial up the "Audio Quality" to as much as 320 bps. Once set in preferences it runs automatically every time I stick in a CD. You don't need to add software to do this. For me the sound quality seem great ... but do note I am no longer a young person and my hearing is not what it used to be ... so this particular part of my opinion should be taken with that in mind.

That sounds good. I am in the process of reripping the CDs that are WMA's - I knew the Ipod wouldn't play them, and I was worried about the sound quality with converted files. Thanks for the reply!

No, not neccesarily. mp3 (.mp3) files are a different format that .wma files, .ram, or .wav files, etc.. mp3 is a different format and not a category that all digital audio files fall under. You will need to convert your windows media audio files (.wma) to mp3 on your PC, and burn to the DVD or CD you want to use. I hope this helps. - Pete [archaeologist with insomnia and girlfriend in Belize resulting in too much time on my hands at 1:20am with another 3 hours till the time when I usually "wake-up"] 12/21/2012

you CAN use your itunes card for your mp3. It will just take a little more effort.Once you purchase music on Itunes, burn it onto a regular audio disk, (one that will play in a stereo - not mp3), then reimport the disk into itunes as mp3 (see under itunes preferences, importing.Have fun with the tunes.

It will only play mp3. I had to convert all my wma files to mp3. I was unaware of this at the time of purchase.

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.

After you sync it to your computer it accepts different kinds of music files, not just MP3; in fact, I understand it can store video files though I don't know why you would (with that tiny screen.) I have 2 of these MP3 players, and I use the EasyRip option to copy CDs onto the MP3 player -- even though it takes up more memory than the MP3 file format. You can also listen to and record radio programs. I don't know if this answers your question, though.

I would buy a normal cassette player rather than this one. There are several inexpensive ones that have a built in speaker or headphone plug. I would only get this one if you are trying to convert your cassette tapes to mp3 files.

That has to be done digitally, you would have to convert your files to mp3 then create the play list in whatever application you use. IE itunes.
