Cassette to CD and MP3 Kit

I have tried a couple of other types of cassette to CD software and boy were they complicated. I wanted something that I didn't need a degree in IT to be able to use it, I wanted to play the cassette and then find it on my computer so I read the reviews on this product and thought well let's give it a go. Firstly I was impressed with the speed of delivery, I ordered it and it came the very next day that was one plus to start with.Putting the software in my computer was easy peasey..... And then I had a go at converting my first cassette and was still sceptical at this point, however when it came to putting the cassette from my computer onto a CD and this is where I was really impressed. The CD player I have in my vehicle doesn't play MP3 tracks so I just needed a bog standard CD and yet again I was impressed I got just what I asked for.I would definitely recommend this product if the buyer wants something easy to use and does what it says on the packet. If there is any negative points about this product is that there isn't a tape player in with the package but you can buy one of these really cheaply. But maybe it needs pointing out in the description of the product. But all in all I am more than pleased with the product. Cassette to CD and MP3

I have wanted to transfer my records and tapes to ipod for some time but the limited market was putting me off unless you go to the lengths of buying a purpose made digital stereo. I considered Digitope to be priced right, even if it ended up not work properly as some of the Amazon reviews I had read seemed to be suggesting. Also, I did not want anything too complicated - just some software that did what it said on the box.I received version 5 and after a bit of practice and some initial teething problems it now seems to be working well. The online help is very useful in supplementing the written guidance - it explains how to connect it up properly - different from the explanation in the written guide. Generally, the whole recording process is a bit fiddly and takes time - like watching paint dry, made worse on my computer as it is not geared up to play back sound whilst recording. Initially, I did find that it kept terminating midway through a recording session with the result that you have to begin over again as it did not always allow you to recover the recording - some other Amazon reviews pick up on this problem. Thankfully, I am happy to report that this now seems to have settled down on my version. A tip is that I find it quicker and get better results from recording everything in manual mode as it allows you to readjust the track settings and eliminate all the lumps and bumps, etc - this is important if you want to achieve a good digital recording. I think the resulting sound quality through my ipod is good.Overall, yes I admit it is quicker to download all your tracks from itunes but this would be a lot more expensive and there is a sort of perverse pleasure in being able to digitally re-record all your own music. I am well pleased and glad I bought it - go for it!

Software of this product seems to work OK (I'm still using 'XP Home' operating system. For some reason I had trouble getting the CD Rom to load: It kept on just spinning at high speed in my laptops drive but nothing would happen. Eventually, I managed to get it to load.The pamphlet instructions confused me: Page 3 instruction number 3 should surely tell you to connect to your computers microphone socket, NOT the headphone socket.Once I had managed to load the CD Rom the software works quite well, but I found it a bit hard working it out.I have used a (newly purchased)Sony Walkman Cassette Player with this product and it works quite well.Actually, I prefer to use the Audio Input Jack on my laptop instead of the microphone socket (in conjunction with the "Line Volume" option) in the "Available Sources" section of the product software under "Settings". Doing this means that, even though I'm using only 'XP Home' operating system, I can listen to my recordings(through either the laptops speakers or ear/headphones) whilst recording is in progress - much better!I was pleased with the quality of the recordings - especially if saved in uncompressed WAV format.I'm glad I bought this product as it secures priceless family recordings originally made on the ever fragile cassette tape system (or an open reel machine if you still have a working one of those!).Of course, once these recordings are on your computer you can then back them up using external drives, USB memory sticks or - if in the appropiate format, MP3 or CD - I think that is great!Thanks!

I purchased this 'Cassette to CD and MP3' software because the reviews were helpful and the price was acceptable; as long as it did what it said 'on the tin' I would be happy. My first two attempts created problems but this was my fault entirely. I connected the minijack cable into the wrong input socket at the back of my pc, and the second problem was because I disturbed the lead from the headphone socket. Having corrected these minor faults it was plain sailing. The installation disc was simple with easy to follow prompts. Recording instructions were as basic and simple as one could wish for, and that suited me perfectly. The finished product went into my Windows Media Player with all the information I supplied for my 'burn-up' including the selected image from my pictures folder to identify the new entry. I am delighted with it and will certainly recommend this product. Thank you Digitope Ltd.
