This innovative tape allows you to take your vintage; and not so vintage; collection of tapes (music or spoken) and convert them via your PC into MP3, WAV or WMA digital files, or simply copy them to a CD. Transferring tape to digital has often been a complicated and expensive affair. Now you can get high quality sound transfers for an unbelievable price. The deck simply plugs into the USB port on your PC or Mac; you then either use the software to convert your music and listen to it through your computer or on your MP3. If you’ve built up an enviable collection, you want to spend your days listening to them not transferring them. The USB tape deck is compatible with any software that supports USB audio input sound cards. All you need to do is simply plug it into a spare USB port; no special drivers are required. Now there’s no excuse not to dust down those tapes, convert the music and take a trip down memory lane. What''s in the box: Ion Tape 2 PC Unit USB Cable Stereo RCA Cable Software CD (Audacity* & EZ Tape Convertor) Quick Start User Manual *Audacity editing software helps to clean up recordings as well as providing the full range of editing functions including pitch control, selections, dividing, noise removal and labelling.

Can I record from the PC to the Tape Deck?

Unfortunately not, this only goes from Tape to PC, not from PC to Tape

Unable to use High Speed Dubbing for recording the MP3 files

High Speed Dubbing is for Tape to Tape recording, not for Tape to PC
