Old school is new
This does not magically transform an old recording into an mp3 that you might buy on iTunes of a new artist. If you're prepared for it to sound like what it is - a cassette recording - then you'll love this unit. My brother had some live performances of his band on a cassette. Nearly twenty years old, his music has new life, and sounds a bit retro with the ambient hiss of cassette mixed with time. I held back on buying this because of some of the reviews, but now I realize the people posting the bad reviews were expecting the Tape2Go to magically fix problems inherent to cassette recordings. If you have realistic expectations, you will be glad you invested in this sweet little product.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Price Was Great, But Sound Quality Not So Much
This Tape 2 Go converter's price was right, and was is easy to use. It comes with software, which goes with this unit (the software can also be used with a separate turntable, if you have one). Maybe the inexpensive cost should have tipped me off that it was too good to be true. When I used it, the sound was really bad - a continual muffled "bumping" sound throughout the audio. I tried several tapes, with the same result, even after adjusting the volume levels, etc. Oh well - back to the drawing board!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy transfers at an easy price
My unit started to hum and a chop like a helicopter became a problem. It seemed to come from the motor and was audible on the playback. This could have been averted if the easy to use software had included some kind of equalizer. Adjusting input levels corrected some of the problem, but an EQ is very much desired. I think there are higher priced models that might address this issue. Otherwise, it works very well allowing for easy transfer of cassettes to digital format. A great deal for the money and the customer service was very professional and helpful.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Outdated software for iOS Catalina
I purchased this item to convert cassette tape content to mp3 files using my MacBook Pro's Catalina OS Version 10.15.6. 64-bit capable software is required for this purpose. The software provided by Ion via download from their website is outdated 32-bit and incompatible with all Apple updated operating systems. A chat with Ion's support team confirmed this deficiency and advised me that their company is working on the problem. No value for me! Item returned.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good quality with PC,took a while with recording a Vietnam battle audio cassette, but worked overall. Had a problem with tracks, but not ION's fault.
Bought this to convert an audio cassette I recorded in Pleiku, Vietnam in 1971. I was on top of a small wooden tower where I called in artillery and directed helicopter gunships, etc. in a small Montagnard RF compound, it was part of a 5-day battle against a much larger force. I 'met' several people on a MACV website, who very much wanted copies of their battle as well. The converter worked great, in spite of the poor old cassette tape construction, etc. As usual, had to figure a few things out with the computer, but it all worked find. This conversion has been a plan of 46 years, finally coming to fruition. Thanks, ION. BTW, as usual, we kicked the NVA's butt.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

This is a good option, for its price.
This product generally does what it advertises. However, it is particular concerning what age/model of MAC is being used. Also, there is a bit of noise in the recordings...but that could just be the quality and age of my tapes. It is nice to have a device that will capture my old garage-band music that will never see a CD or stream.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

You get what you pay for
For the cost I didn't expect real high sound reproduction, so I wasn't surprised at what I got. The sound reproduction is decent, but my cassettes are quite old, so I don't know if that is having an effect. I get distortion when the tape speeds and slows. Going to try some higher-quality batteries to see if that helps. Would have been nice to have an option for plug-in power on the unit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

good product.
It does what I expected and at the correct speed of playback. The only thing missing is being powered by an AC adapter that would save on battery coasts and more convenient.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Ok price, not so OK quality transfers.
Good price, but don't expect high quality audio transfers. Might be usable for voice recordings (dictation etc...) but not for any quality music transfers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
