It appeared to be fine
Mr Beamish

I does what it says on the tin. The Audacity people could provide a bit more guidance and the software is a bit unstable if you are not careful and press the wrong commands - but that is not your problem.

Have only just been able to start using the device as I discovered I needed a repair to my tape recorder. All going well so far.
Mr Midgley

The adaptor did the job easily and quickly. A more detailed manual would be a great advantage about settings like volume levels, otherwise - dead easy

Mr Burns

Very easy to install and use. But the associated help files were weak. Went to Audacity website and downloaded the latest Beta version which was far better. Could almost have come in a Ronseal can.

VERY GOOD PRODUCT IT DOES WHAT IT PROMISES , LOADS WITH NO PROBLEMS [ MAKE SURE YOU SET IT TO STERIO NOT MONO ] VERY PLEASED.
M Smith
Moore, Warrington
All I needed to do was transfer my cassette tapes to MP3 mode and I Found the product very easy to use I am now asking around to borrow a Record Player to transfer my vinyl.
Mr Livingstone
Gourock
The product works well but the whole process is not exactly easy. There is a lot of changing wires and plugs when recording music to the computer hard drive. The instruction manual is clear except for the diagrams on how to connect the cables between the recorder and the computer. As this is one of the vital parts of the process I would have thought it merited more than very small and poorly printed diagrams. There were a lot of cables in the box I presume one set are just extensions - although nothing is said about them in the instructions - and there is an additional plug supplied and I don't know what it is for although it talks about male to male connections - which I don't understand. So, overall a better explanation of the plug-in set up would be useful as we are not all audiophiles. [T2 Direct Response] - We have now uploaded a set-up and troubleshooting guide (FAQs), which should hopefully help with any issues that may arise.

Very good gadget. Could of done with instructions on how to use Audacity but once sorted out with common sense it was really easy. [T2 Direct Response] More information on Audacity software is now available within the FAQs section.
Mrs Hall

No problems as yet. Good to hear all the old vinyls from when we were kids.
M Johnson
Tamworth
Great product, delivered quickly and does exactly what it says on the box. Could maybe do with more comprehensive instructions on editing out distortion from well-played analogue songs, but generally extremely happy with it.

Would have been 5 stars, but couldn't get it to connect to Vista O/S, so had to connect to another PC with XP!

Easy to use,well worth the money.
Mr Johnston
Nantwich
Hardware OK, problems with software. Unable to produce MP3 files.Had to create wav files and convert.
M Sayers
Torquay
Does just what I want it to, capturing music from a good turnable/ tone arm/ cartridge combination, with an end-to-end process for converting to MP3, incorporating in my I-Tunes library, and backing up. Some minor niggles with the software, hence 4 star rating rather than 5. Higher fidelity bit rates should be offered. The process for converting a vinyl album to MP3 could be smoother; the need to assign individual track names and track numbers by entering file properties after exporting to MP3 is tedious. Lack of an on-line manual; possibly there are answers to all the above, but I couldn't find them in Help. I am sure I am not using this software to its full capabilities.
