Roxio Easy LP to MP3 | LP and Cassette to CD or MP3 Audio Converter [PC Disc]

Ill start with saying that i purchased this product just a few months ago, and i am ready to throw my hands up. First of all, like in all the other reviews, the program hijacks the soundcard. The second problem i have is skipping during playback. It does this regardless of whether the original source vinyl was perfectly skip free or not. to be sure, i tried recording a cassette tape with the program..and it still skipped upon playback of the recording. What gives? i dont want to take it back , cuz i feel this could be a decent program and maybe i have some settings wrong or maybe another program i have installed is to blame. who knows? but if this is the absolute best that the program performs, under any circumstance, then i am very disappointed and will never purchase another roxio product period ever again. the end..

Easy to use. Ive converted over 500 vinyl albums to my computer.

This gadget is way too complicated to use. Ive been trying to use it for a while and still havent been able to get a product from it. My friend who is a computer geek also took a long time to be able to copy a cassette onto a CD and wasnt pleased with it at all.

This product is terrible, and their tech support is as bad. Sorry I spent the money. Never again.

If I receive appropriate customer service, I will remove or update this review accordingly. I installed this products software the other day, and it installed fine. My system meets all compatibility specifications. However, I suspect that the USB capture box is defective. I get no audio input to the computer, evidenced by no deflections on the left/right bar graphs and no music recorded. I have tried it on a second computer and also with two different audio sources. It is either the box or some obscure configuration setting, but I suspect the box. Roxio customer support thus far is the pits. It is by way of a web ticket. They take at least a day to get back and then they dont solve any problems. You cant talk to anybody unless you pay 1.89 per minute even on a brand new purchase. What kind of customer service is this? Does Roxio do RMAs on defective hardware? They better! Now, I have paid for a product that doesnt work and with no solution in sight. Unbelievable. Unless this gets expeditiously resolved I will never buy from this company again.

I have a one of a kind old LP I wanted to convert over to a CD. Im a super busy person and I dont want a thick manual to hoist on board before starting or a long learning curve. Purchased the software, connected things up, loaded the CD, ran the defaults.. and poof.. I was in business. The LP has lots of hiss and pops.. and the CD does not.. brilliant! Music quality is 10 times better.. not 10,000 times better.. which I expected for the money I paid. Took me a minute to figure out I needed to remove the phono input to listen to the music before saving.. not sure that makes me a genious. Thanks to the folks who made the product.

This product does not record things in the proper sequence.....scrambles everything in whatever order it wants to....duplicate records different pieces of different tracks....puts spaces in the wrong places....leaves out spaces where they belong. The music ID is horrid....it hasnt got very many right....its giving Jimmy Hendrix names to my jazz albums....most of the artists ive never heard of. Dont waste your money....ive spent too many hours wasting time trying to get it to work....why dont these manufacturers work out the bugs before putting things like this on the market!

This program/ device was well expected in the instructions, but it did not work.

First, I installed this software under Windows XP 32 Bit. Except for not being completely easy due to inadequate documentation, like the product description states, they do provide everything you need to easily digitize, clean up and convert audio from analog LPs and cassettes to MP3. The Getting Started Guide does provide the needed information to get you started with the basics, but using all the features/tools with the included documentation takes some experimentation, and much time, which one would not need to do if the documentation was adequate. For example, although they provide information on the Denoiser tool, they do not provide the detailed information to really use/understand it. The settings for the Denoiser are listed in db (decibels), but if one sets it at -4 db, what does that mean: reduce the noise -4 db below the maximum noise level, reduce the noise -4 db below the maximum signal level, reduce the noise -4 db below the average signal level, what? It was like that for other features/tools too. If they included files which were designed to illustrate the effects of the features/tools included, that would be a big help in using/understanding all the features/tools; maybe they will read this review and do that. A caveat: When one installs the software, the audio settings in Sounds settings in the Control Panel are set to the Easy LP To MP3 audio device, so one must access this in the Control Panel and reset the audio device to the original device to return sound to ones computer speakers and headphones, and reset the audio device for any other audio items which have been changed to the Easy LP To MP3 audio device by Easy LP To MP3 when it was installed.

I do not want to repeat the reviews already given. This is a terrible product, it does not work on windows 7, AT ALL. Their support is zero. Either buy another product or forget your plans to convert LPs to MP3. THE WORST PR EVER! If I could give less than 1 star I would have done so.
