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.

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.

Easy to install and use. Instructions are clear. Still learning to use. Have not had a chance to do a lot with the noise reduction parts of the program.

Ive installed the product on a Windows 7 system and tried recording an LP through the USB port. When I do that it seems to think that the usb port is a speaker because I can hear the PC noises through a headphone attached to the Roxio Audio Capture box. There is no sound from the resulting MP3 file that should have been the captured song. The other problem is that this seems to turn off my speakers all together. Im going to try to connect through the sound card, instead of USB and see how that goes. If that fails I have a Windows XP system and I may try to install there. After reading other reviews here I wont even bother with Roxio support....

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 has no support , it is not a Roxio item and has been sold to Corel . Update server keeps saying try update later . I tried for 3 weeks and always the same response . Corel , Roxio and Amazon should be ashamed of themselves for selling this garbage ! No 800 support without going to there PREMIUM service which means you pay them to fix there poor product . What JUNK !!!

Good product - good service

This item did not work for me, and it was impossible to get reasonable help with the issues. I would urge interested parties to stay away from this product, if not this company.

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

I am not sure what the problem with this program is, but this analog to digital program is highly unreliable. For the price, this program should have definitely tested more completely then this as it appears there are still many bugs in it. My reason for purchase being that the program was easy to use. However with the amount of wasted time when recording and at the point of completing the music, I get a message the program is not responding and I have to delete and restart again. I have contacted Roxio with the graphics of what the program does. No helpful information. Compare carefully with other programs before paying over $50.00 for this unreliable program.
