Fits neatly on your desk
Nostalgic musings aside, records and cassettes were a bit rubbish. All that scratched vinyl and tangled tape was enough to drive you digital. And it did. So much so, both formats are now virtually obsolete. And that means anyone who’s old enough to remember the difference between an EP and a C90 has probably got heaps of music languishing in the loft.
Software and various leads supplied
And you can’t have that, can you? All those compilation tapes and beloved LPs deserve to be rediscovered. But that dusty Showaddywaddy album and ancient mix tape aren’t going to convert themselves into pristine digital files without a bit of help. Step forward the ADS Instant Music Ripper.
This ingenious box of tricks allows you to transfer the music trapped on old records and tapes to your computer. Simply plug it into the nearest USB port, attach your prehistoric player of choice (turntable, cassette deck, whatever) and get ripping. Don’t worry about compatibility and cables, the idiot-proof Instant Music Ripper comes with various leads and connectors to hook up your old hi-fi.
Plenty of connection options!
Once you’ve converted your records and cassettes into crisp, clear digital audio (MP3, WAV, WMA and AAC) you can get busy burning off your own CDs. The included Acoustica software allows you to go from LP to CD in 4 simple steps. And thanks to Acoustica your newly digitised music will be free from imperfections – no fluids or cloths required!

Listen to your new digital audio or burn onto CD |
Best of all, you’ll be able to plop the music you grew up with straight onto your MP3 player. Whether it’s an obscure Buggles B-side or an ancient top 40 countdown, we guarantee you’ll be overcome with nostalgia the second you press play. (Unless Dave Lee Travis gets interrupted by the sound of your dad mumbling ‘testing, testing, one, two, three’).
Wires supplied (L-R): Stereo miniplug 3.5mm, RCA audio cable with ground connector, USB cable and RCA to stereo adaptor
The Instant Music Ripper is a must-have accessory for anyone with a computer and a box load of records and cassettes. And assuming you’re out of short trousers and reading this, that means you!

Hi, I'm thinking of getting one of these. Is it compatible with Vista Basic?
Firebox says: Hi Richard, yes it is compatible with Vista but you will need to download the software for this from the website: http://www.adstech.com/support/support.asp

This super-maneuverable little infra-red chopper is ideal for conducting secret missions in the living room. In fact it's so mean-looking you'll be ducking for cover and phoning Area 51 for advice.
