"It doesn't really hurt but getting digged in the kidneys isn't the most comfortable feeling in the world. I was desperate not to get plugged by the enemy, so played more frantically. it's seriously fun, and knowing where your foe is firing from is a real advantage too. Get some!" | |||||||||

"For a certain generation the humble C90 is the equivalent of vinyl, only a bit less sexy...You can't beat a flip through your old mixtapes for a shot of nostalgia, but they're a bit of a faff for us with our 21st-century attention spans. Hail then to Firebox for their USB cassette deck, which plugs into your PC or Mac and with very little fiddling converts your oldies into MP3 format." | |||||||||

Great product! Works perfectly. One quick note: if you are someone who's familiar with sound editing and already have editing software, there's no need to load the included software. Windows XP (I can't speak for mac) found a driver just fine. In my editing software, all I have to do is change the record source.
I ripped a couple cassettes this weekend (stuff that has never been released on cd) and it went quite smoothly! (At least, once I found the gain control on the back. ;). | |||||||||
This is just what the doctor ordered. Having been a tape collector since the (very) early 70's I have rather a large collection of audio tapes, including a massive amount of audio books. This machine is proving absolutely brilliant in transferring them to digital. Although only owning it for a couple of weeks, it has already been worth its weight in gold as many of my tapes are no longer available in any format. Also, I have seen this product for sale else where for a lot more money. So well done Firebox for selling this great product for a very reasonable price. | |||||||||
Been looking for this sort of thing for ages. And yes it does do what it says on the box.... | |||||||||
I was looking for something like this for a while but you could only get something for your PC. (I wanted something for my laptop. )
Anyway, I opened the box and saw the instructions and thought great this is going to hard to set up. It wasn't. I put the software disc in the drive and it loaded automatically. Then I plugged it in to the USB and power socket and I was away. The only thing I had to changed was the audio from Windows media codec.
I wanted it mainly to record my audiobooks. Playing them back, they were so loud and clear that I thought the reader was in the room with me.
The only problem I found was you have to be with the machine to turn the recorder off when the tape finished and you can not go on the internet while recording or the recorder picks up every bleep and sound.
Other than this I would recommend it to anyone. Just for is recording quality alone. | |||||||||
