Music Digitizer CD Recorder for Music Audio Capture Device Cassette MP3 Recorder Converter with 3.5mm & RCA Line Input

I wanted to be able to get my old albums and tapes converted to mp3. This is it. It's like old school back in the 80's when we used to record songs to tapes. When your done, just plug the flash drive into the computer and rename your files. Drag them to a folder of your choice on the computer and you have them. I plan on putting the songs on my phone (Android phone) so I can listen to them in my car. iPhones are a little more complicated and I don't know how to do that but that has nothing to do with how this box works.

I order this unit to use for a commercial PA system installation to record the 8 microphone mixer output in a board meeting room. I permanently installed it by the recording secretary's desk and used a flash drive that has a big red read/write activity LED so that there is no mistaking as to when it is recording, or not.I did not need to use the IR remote in this application, but can confirm that it worked for all the functions it provides. However, it did seem very direction sensitive.Instead, the front mounted push button worked perfectly for her to "push once" to start recording and "push again" to stop recording. Which is all she needs to record the meetings.I have not tested it for music recordings, so I can not attest to the recording audio quality. It does fine on the voice grade recording application that I am using it for in this project.The best, and most unexpected feature, was when I tested it for power failure behavior. Since the board meetings can last as long a 6 hours, I feared that the Mp3 audio file would get corrupted if interrupted by a commercial power failure.As it turns out, when its power gets disconnected, it stops recording and automatically "closes" the session with only loosing the last 2 seconds of the audio recording. When power is restored, just push the start/stop button to resume recording as normal. There are not even any formatting issues caused to the flash drive by the power disconnect.That was critical for my application. I could not afford for the audio file to get corrupted by a power outage five hours into the meeting and loose everything up to that point.Upon the first recording on a new flash drive, it creates a new folder. Thereafter, it creates new Mp3 files inside that folder for every subsequent recording session which of course, can be renamed later. However, this unit requires the flash drive to be formatted in FAT 32 only.It will even create its new folder and files even if there are other existing files on the drive you are using without disturbing them.They do recommend to use a high level line output to drive their audio input jacks. I first tried to use the "recod out" line level from my PA amp and got recordings that were 15 db below normal. I then switched to a spare headphone output I had availible on the mixer and that worked great at about a 70% volume level.This unit worked perfectly for my application, is very inexpensive for what it does and is very user friendly. I would highly recommend it for any voice grade simple start/stop idiot proof recording applications.

I used this with a PNY 128GB Elite-X Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive - 200MB/sIt's a fairly fast drive with low profile, and decent storage. There were higher & lower capacity options for that drive. The drive was pre-formatted for FAT-32, which is what this Digital Recorder requires, so I didn't need to do anything with it except plug it in to the Recorder. That drive seemed to work fine with this device (although, perhaps it affected the sound quality, see below).I have the device audio-In plugged in to my laptop's audio output, and the device audio-out connected to the audio-in on my headset.The device audio out is somewhat garbled in comparison to the quality of the audio input. This is true regardless if I'm recording or not. On some calls, where the source audio was already garbled, the final quality of the audio output from the device was bad enough that I couldn't understand what was being said on the call, and so I had to remove the device from the audio circuit.I like the idea of the product and want to try to make it work. I might try to use an audio splitter so I can get the original audio routed to both my headset and the device directly.

I brought this with the intent to record certain songs on on-line mixes that I like. Without having to download the whole mix. I read some of the mixed reviews so I didn't have a lot confidence in this doing what I wanted it to do. I'm happy to say other than recording at a little lower volume than I would like, it did exactly what I needed. Recorded certain songs on off the online mix that I like. Which in turn, I was able to upload these songs into my harddrive. If it recorded at a little higher volume it would get 5 stars.

There are a few tricks to using this. The last review I gave was a bad one because I hadn't figured it out yet. Once you figure it out, it's amazing. The only downfall is that you have to record the old-fashioned way, one song at a time, and played all of the way through.

Sent the first unit back because it would stop recording spent hours trying to make it work. Could not find any other MP3 recording device so I bought another one then I figured out that it requires high speed memory stick. Now it is a five star product producing excellent MP3 recordings note: you may need to experiment with volume setting don’t use max without testing.

This met all expectations. One thing I would note however is that although the instructions recommend setting the CD player to full volume that resulted in some slight distortion on some of the treble, however recording with the volume set at around 80%-90% (eg 25 out of 30 on volume control) the recorded sound was crisp and clear as a bell. My car CD stopped working but now I can play my music off flash drives using the aux port. The sound quality was exactly the same as if I was playing the CD. Very happy with this converter.

This really works. Use a memory stick with this. Easy to use.

Buen precio, buena calidad, cumple mis expectativas, sobre todo en modo manual y a control remoto. Aunque no esperaba que tuviera modo automático, no he logrado que grabe bien y de cortido,me corta las camciones o no las guarda todas.

It works excellent for listening music in the car.I use a separate usb drive to do the recording. Once I am done, I copy the files into another usb device. Then I reformat the usb drive to have it ready for the next recording session.Remember to not to delete the files. Reformat the device instead! I learned this the hard way.5 stars because this solved my need to have copies of my vinyls, my CDs, or any other music source, to play while driving.

جهاز رائع وسهل الاستخدام

NON MI ASPETTAVO NIENTE DI PIÙ. QUALITÀ PREZZO; FA BENE IL SUO LAVORO.

Lange habe ich danach gesucht. Ein quasi Gegenstück zum Kassettendeck, um den Ton vom DVD Player/Recorder als MP3 aufnehmen zu können OHNE den PC dazu nutzen zu müssen. Das kleine unscheinbare Kästchen ist exakt das, was ich lange, sehr lange gesucht habe. Aber nun zum Gerät selbst...Dieses kommt fein verpackt aus Hongkong - STOP, wer jetzt sagt "Oh Gott Chinaschrott" liegt hier völlig falsch!!!Die Lieferung beinhaltet den Audiograbber, ein USB Kabel, sowie eine Klinkenverbindung und eine Fernbedienung. Klar, dasss auch eine Bedienungsanleitung dabei ist. Die ist allerdings nur in Englisch und Chinesisch.Das Gerät selbst ist - na klar aus Plastik - aber sehr gut verarbeitet.Ein USB Netzteil mit 1.000 mA Leistung fehlt ist aber zum Betrieb nötig. Ebenso ist kein Chinchkabel, SD Karte und/oder USB Speicherstick mit dabei. Diese Teile sind, sofern noch nicht zu Hause vorrätig, gleich mitzubestellen.Am Gerät selbst:Audiosignal Eingang (INPUT) über 3,6 mm Klinkenbuchse und ChinchAudiosignal Ausgang (OUTPUT) - Speicherung als MP3 Datei mit SD-Karte oder USB-Stick. Leider ist nicht erkenntlich, wie gross die maximale Speicherkapazität der Speichermedien sein darf. Ich hab's mit einem 16GB USB-Stick und einer SD Karte mit gleicher Kapazität probiert und die wurden problemlos akzeptiert und beschrieben.GANZ WICHTIG! Vor Nutzung der Speichermedien (auch wenn diese schon vorformatiert sind vom jeweiligen Hersteller) erst formatieren mit FAT32, sonst erfolgt keine Aufnahme.So, jetzt SD Karte oder USB Stick am Audiograbber einstöpseln. Danach den Audiograbber mit Strom versorgen (5V - 1.000 mA). Jetzt noch per Chinchkabel oder Klinkenbuchse das Toneingangssignal der gewünschen Quelle (CD/DVD Player) einspeisen.Sobald der Audiograbber mit Strom versorgt wird, leuchtet eine grüne LED permanent auf. Zum Starten der Aufnahme entweder den roten Knopf auf der Fernbedienung drücken oder direkt den am Audiograbber, dann blinkt die grüne LED und die Aufnahme beginnt. Soll die Aufnahme beendet werden, einfach nochmals den Knopf am Audiograbber selbst oder den roten auf der Fernbedienung drücken - die grüne LED hört dann auf zu blinken. FERTIG.Sind alle Aufnahmen wie gewünscht erledigt, kann die SD-Karte oder der USB Stick entnommen werden und die erzeugten MP3 Dateien mit einem entsprechenden Player wiedergegeben oder am PC nachbearbeitet werden.Sehr schön ist auch die Monitorfunktion, mit der der Grabber ausgestattet ist. Das heißt, man kann einen Kopfhörer am Grabber anschließen und während der Aufnahme mithören, was gerade aufgenommen wird.FAZIT: Verhältnis Preis / Leistung absolut TOP! Wer gerne Soundtracks von DVD & Co als MP3 Datei haben will, bekommt sie hier ganz einfach, unkompliziert und zu einem TOP-Preis. Für mich eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!
