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

This was a 2009 Christmas gift from my Wife & Daughter. I have used other Roxio products in the past, so I was somewhat familiar with what to expect. This is Version 10.3.104 Pros: Fast and easy. Crisp, clean results. Fairly inexpensive ($50 online) Cons: No warning that the turntable needs a pre-amp. Software hijacks the Speakers/Sound card. I would give this product 5 stars, except for these cons. It comes in a small box with various cables and adapters for connecting your turntable. Your turntable MUST be pre-amplified to line levels. This is not mentioned anywhere before you purchase, a big Con in my opinion. I was lucky enough to have an Aiwa PX-E860 which has a pre-amp. The heart of this system is the RCA to USB adapter and the Software itself. I think a person could use this software with just their sound card if they dont want to use the adapter. Also the software hijacks the sound card and you have to plug your speakers or headset into the USB adapter, if you want to hear the music while recording. Another big Con, in my opinion. I have not figured out how to get the speakers back yet. Im pretty sure it will be a simple thing, I just havent chased it down yet. Software installation is just like every other package these days. Insert the CD, it autostarts, answer in the affirmative to Licensing glop and Legal noise, agree to default directories and go. There is a 16 page Getting Started Guide, but the software is fairly intuitive and I got my first LP started without the Guide. To capture your music, just put on the LP and follow the Guide. It really is easy. If it doesnt capture the splits properly, there is an editor that lets you quickly adjust the tracks. You can fill in all the Track Info and save to various mp3 bit rates or other formats. The Sound Editor also has all the standard filters for noise, hiss, pop, etc. It will also let you create and burn to CDs. Botton line, I was REALLY pleased with the final results! This really is the easiest way I have found so far, to convert LPs to digital format. My final results were truely crisp and clean.

Hangs all the time. Tried uninstall/reinstall. Just junk,

Didnt work well

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.

I am using windows XP SP3. Worse Roxio program I have ever gotten. It would be bad enough if it just didnt work, which it does not, but it so messed up the computer I had to restore. Tried three times no luck and NO SUPPORT from roxio web site. Search for easy LP to MP3 and you get a bunch of games. I wouldnt sell this at a garage sale.

DO NOT BUY, ITS CRAP!! It does hijack your soundcard and cant listen while your recording. its just not a good product, stay away from it.

This product works good on converting records to mp3 formate. Comes with cables and adapters to assist in connecting to computer.

Not many changes, and still presents problems in editing mode. Yet, to date, I have found NO OTHER software that does the job in such a straighforward manner as this one. I have tried them all, including very expensive editing software. The learning curve is simple with Roxio LP to MP3, as contrasted to the complex and often worthless learning curve of other software in this genre.

Received quickly and works great

In few single words:Its wonderful and easy to use,you can master the sounds and to raise the colors of the Lps and Cassettes........Many thanks for that sofware
