 Great Product that is Very User Friendly November 15, 2008
I have been looking for a long time for an easy way to convert old audio cassettes to CD's. Most of the products I had seen looked too complicated and the ones that looked simple had gotten bad reviews.
After reading positive technical and consumer reviews of this product, I decided to order it. I LOVE IT.
I am running Windows XP and it took about 30 minutes from the time I opened the box until I was recording the first cassette to my hard drive. The instructions are concise and easy to follow. The only thing that was left out of the intsructions was to make sure you have your audio playback settings in the recorder set to your sound card. It defaults to Inport and I could not hear what I was recording until I made that change.
The included software to remove pops and clicks is pretty basic. You may need something else for noise removal. I first downloaded audacity which is free for download. I found it difficult to use. I found another free program called recordpad which worked well and was more user friendly.
I would recommend this product to anyone who has lots of tapes and/or LP's and wants a quick and simple method to convert them.
It is great!
 Very Good Digital Recorder October 18, 2008
First of all, I only gave it 4 stars because there are no conversion utilities. At least on a PC, you can only produce a large WAV file, you have to find some other product to convert it to a smaller, exchangeable format (MP3). iTunes seems to do the job well, so there is no need to spend extra money.
I used Windows Vista to test the product, and no drivers were needed for it to work. Just plug it in an USB port and start recording from any analog device.
After the device is connected, the only sound you will hear from your PC is from the device input. So dont spend an hour, (like me), trying to figure out why my speakers no longer worked. Just unplug the device and all the sound will work agian.
Pros:
The device is simple.
The sound is very good.
Cons:
Seems a little expensive for what you get (comes with a cable, but you can get it anywhere for a couple of bucks).
No conversion utilities.
Bottom Line:
If what you want is a great recording, and a simple to use device. This product does the job nicely. But are there cheaper products out there, that do the same thing, you may want to look around.
Finally! October 15, 2008
This product is great for transfering your cassette collection to CD. Unlike other products out there, there is no microphone recording involved. Make all of the background noise you want - none of it gets picked up in the recording. It is easy to install and get started and the software that comes with it is basic but good. You can use other remastering programs such as MAGIX to clean up the audio file and you use your computer's own burning program to create the CD. Sound quality with this product is as good as the original cassette. It does save as a WAV. file, though - separate free software needs to be downloaded to convert to MP3 - and WAV files are rather large. If you get an adapter (@ $8 at Radio Shack) you can import out of the headphone jack of a boom box or stereo so no need to have a tape deck. Bottom line, this product does exactly what it says it will and it does it well.
 Xitel INport Deluxe not up to par October 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was anxiously awaiting the Xitel INport Deluxe which would enable me to download my old lp's onto the computer and sync them to my mp3 player. . .However, the product was not satisfactory in that it was NOT capable of going the whole nine yards in the process. It would not allow for the ripping of individual tracks from the record. This required my physically starting and stopping the record in order to set up a separate file for each song. Not good. It required the additional purchase of a ripper at about $50. I have returned the product and opted for the DAK system which is just a couple of bucks more but far, far better in every way imaginable. Go for the DAK system instead. It is outstanding.
It Works October 7, 2008
I had some cassette tapes to covert to CD and the software worked perfectly. Amazingly it did what it said it would do. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
