It did not work. I installed the CD and it never went further than the first picture appearing in only half of the window. I have to return the product and wait for the refund.

Just to think I was considering finally getting rid of all my music cassettes I had from those good ole cassette walkman days.  I am still going to get rid of them, but that is after I convert every one of them to MP3 albums and transfer them over to iTunes.

The Arrela Cassette to MP3 Converter allows you to easily transfer music to a included USB thumb drive or directly to your PC.  Then you can take those files and move them to your iTunes or make CDs.  Now if you recall cassettes never sounded great, so don't be expecting your transferred files to be sounding like CD quality audio.

Extremely easy to use, but you do have to watch and wait as each cassette plays out from beginning to end.  The housing of the unit is a thin plastic, so be very careful not to drop it so it will probably shatter into pieces.

It cannot be read by my cassette player. It is immediately ejected whenever I try to put it in. I have tried a number of the "fixes" out there, however none of them seemed to work.

Enjoy the cassette very much. I grew up with it and can't find it in the stores anymore now I can record my performances when I play for outings

The software is supposed to convert the cassette tape automatically into Itunes. It didn't work! I had to go to the ION website use the troubleshooting guide and download software there. Whether that was the fix I don't know maybe the problem was because my operating system is Vista Home? All I know is now I have to record a tape into MY MUSIC, name the file(song), then grab the recording and place it into Itunes manually. Extra steps but at least I got it to work. It does a fairly good job separating the tracks. The machine seems to be cheaply made but lets face it for $40-$50 bucks what do you expect. Sound quality would not satisfy a sophisticated audiophile,but it is sufficient. Overall, I would recommend this as a quick inexpensive way to convert cassette tapes.

This is perfect to help transfer my audio tapes onto a digital format. It is easy to plug into my computer and my tape deck.

I have this on a cassette, however, I would prefer a CD...but not for $21.95. Why so much?

I love it. Tascam CC 222MKIV CD/Cassette recorder is easy to operate. It took literally 30 minutes to unboxed and start transferring from 35 years old cassettes to CDs. Audio quality is superb. It's excellent piece of equipment.

Nifty little device for such a low price.  We had some favorite cassette tapes we wished to convert and preserve in digital format, This Cassette/Converter did the job nicely.

I would suggest visiting audacity [dot] sourceforge [dot] net rahter than using the supplied Software disk if you are not familar with capture/record software.  I had used Audacity before so experienced no issues. I tested the device on  both Windows 7 and on Linux.  "Audacity is available for Windows, Mac, GNU/Linux; and other operating systems. Their website provides a feature list, wiki, and forum" if you need help converting your cassettes.

The device is powered by the usb port you use your PC or laptop, OR you can install 2 AA batteries and play cassettes on a walk if you wish. I also tested it by plugging two small PC speakers in for a bit better sound quality when simply playing your cassettes. Obviously converting your cassettes to digital format is the best solution.

I an enjoy audio books and go to library book sale often. So cassettes may be outdated.  I can enjoy them and these players are becoming hard to find.

I was hesitant after reading the mixed reviews, but I have found this product very easy to use and convenient.  My goal is to convert a whole heap of old cassettes to digital format, and it works like a charm.  I also didn't need the headphones - the music played out loud on my computer.  I am not looking for optimal or professional sound quality; I find that the music comes out about the same quality it was on the tape, which is fine with me.  One annoying thing is that the Mac version of the software doesn't have automatic track separation, so you have to sit there and click "new track" each time a song ends.  Also, when the music goes into iTunes, it comes up under its own file name or "Unknown Album" instead of the info you enter, so I don't bother putting the track names into the program or anything; I just do that later when it's in iTunes.  I'm sure you can use a more sophisticated program like Audacity and do all kinds of other things, but for my own bare-bones purposes, this machine is very easy to use and does what I wanted it to do.

The UFO202 does what it is suppose to do; transfer my old vinyl lp's to digital.  Now, getting the music to sound great you will need some software that is included.  Just have plenty of time, it is a long process.

I really liked this item.  It was easy to use after I figured out what I was doing wrong..I thought I broke it!  But once this user got used to it, it worked great.  I like that the software download was quick and easy and was ready to go.  I appreciated the ease of exporting the files to my Itunes and the quality of the audio in the recording.  I haven't used all the features yet, but I am enjoying learning as I go.  I have a number of cassettes gathering dust and now I can use them and listen to all my favorites.

Cool item and the customer serivce from this seller is outstanding!  Very pleased!!

This is an excellent device for converting cassette tapes to CDs. You can use the device to convert tapes to MP3 or WAV files no CDs.  I had difficulty installing Audacity on my Windows Vista computer but it installed easily and quickly on my Win 7 laptop.  Once Audacity was properly installed the AGPtek device and the device connected very easily.  My primary purpose for buying this device was to convert some cassette tapes of exceedingly important events I had taped over 45 years ago and was in danger of losing that important info.  At time of conversion, these tapes had white noise, buzz, and some roar.  After the conversion, most of this noise was almost completely gone. I am very pleased with this device and also converted some music cassette tapes with outstanding results.

Between the ages of 4 to 10 or so, I recorded about 60 of these normal-sized audio cassettes. They sat in a box for roughly 20 years until I decided to go ahead and get it over with: time to digitize them. This device was perfect for the project: easy to use, high quality, and priced fairly. I only used its speaker a little in the beginning, but it sounded fine. There's a counter some folks may find useful, and I guess it works... I didn't really pay attention. The device can also record, but I never tested that functionality either. For me, what really mattered was the Line Out / Headphone, which sounded great. Anyway, this was exactly what I needed, and now I've got all those tapes stored safely as audio files.
