Ion Audio - Tape Express + Portable Tape-to-MP3 Converter

The product works, but there is a problem with the interface. There is not enough information to set the music/files up the way you want it. I am unable to locate the files easily and the volume is low. In order to adjust the volume you have to run through the process multiple times. I will check recommend to a friend because I was able to save the items that I wanted, but the quality is questionable.

Decent player / converter for the price. Easy to use. A lot of hiss picked up on transfer, but not sure how much of it came from the tape versus the player. Quality of "professional" recordings (songs recorded and produced in a studio) is good, while amateur home recordings tend to produce more hiss. Volume is the only control knob, no EQ options. I was hoping to hook a line into the headphone jack and transfer it into Audacity to edit / equalize the songs I imported, but somehow the port only works with headphones. Could not produce "transferable" sound using any audio line other than the included USB line.

Overall its a good product, does what it claims to do. Again since you are recording it in to your pc it doesn't let you play around with the audio. So the way your tape sounds; that's exactly how it is going to sound.Other than that it is very easy to use, just plug in and record.

This is a great option to save those old cassette recordings of family conversations or recordings of you playing an instrument 30 years ago. Very easy to add to iTunes and save for the next 30 years.

So convenient for converting tapes to digital format. Easy to use, priced right.

Device converted tapes from over 35 years ago to mp2

Thanks to the best buy sales assistant. Will enjoy my old tapes on a new system.

Easy to use to convert old cassettes to digital files for my phone.
