This is the portable device that plays and converts treasured audio cassettes into digital files for listening on an iPod or other MP3 player. Unlike similar converters, this one has a speaker and microphone that allows voice recording while you convert cassettes--you can comment before, during, or after a song or add narration to non-musical tracks. Simply connect the converter to a computer via USB and insert a cassette. The included audio editing software quickly and easily downloads tracks and exports them in MP3 or WAV format. The compact unit also operates as a standard cassette recorder with all the expected functions (record, play, rewind, fast forward, pause, stop/eject) and works with most types of cassettes, even CrO2. It has an internal 2 1/2" speaker, and RCA input/output jacks to record and play through a home entertainment system or other auxiliary source. For Windows 7, Vista, XP and Mac. Includes RCA and USB cords. Plugs into AC. 3 1/4" H x 6" W x 9 3/4" L. (2 1/4 lbs.)
