DriverGenius AV202-B USB2.0 Audio Capture/Grabber Card Device - Analog Cassette to Digital MP3 Converter - Compatible for Windows 11, macOS

Very nice product. Received well packaged and on time (thank you Amazon for free shipping on orders over $35). I connected it to my old cassette player, then to my mac computer, threw in a cassette tape and began recording the music to digital form using Garage Band on my mac. Works great. I did/have not downloaded the software program it allows you to obtain because it works well with Garage Band, and I seem to like how they work together. Transferred only one cassette so far, but it worked nicely and I was able to further convert the music from "garage band" format to mp3 without any problems. I recommend it if you're trying to capture your old music (cassettes, LP vinyl, reel-to-reel tapes), as I am. Anything with an RCA jack will convert using this device. It's brilliant in its simplicity and function. I like it. No batteries, no set up, no time lag or delay, not very big at all, and not overly expensive...and it works with my Mac...all plug and play.

I just received this last night and my initial use attempt could not have been easier.I have a fairly large collection of vinyl LPs and singles and I'm finally getting to work with them again after many years. I'm using vintage gear I've kept over the years (Technics SL-D1 turntable, Sony TA-F40 integrated amp). I have a number of vinyl albums that are out-of-print, hard to find or not available on streaming services. I wanted to use the gear I had to rip the music from the vinyl to digital files.I decided to give this Driver Genius device a go, based on the positive reviews. I have a MacBook, but I really hoped it would work with my preferred Kubuntu-based Linux docked laptop system. I was not disappointed.I used the "Tape Monitor" output on the Sony amp as the source. The Technics turntable connects to the Sony's photo pre-amp input. I connected two RCA male plugs from the amp to the female RCA plugs on the Driver Genius device, and the USB connector into a USB port on the Linux laptop system.Audacity, the open source recording software, detected the device as a "USB PnP Audio Device. " I queued up an LP on the turntable, lowered the stylus, hit the record button on Audacity and the software immediately registered a waveform as the recording was made. Users can choose to save completed recordings to WAV or MP3 files (I chose WAV so they can be converted to FLAC). I only created a few files with this, but the sound of the resulting music is really great. Audacity provides a number of tools for improving and fixing your files.That's it. This is about as simple and easy as it gets from a user perspective, and this little device does everything I expected without a burp.

Cannot rate it a zero. The driver link on the box does not work, leads you to a purchase option to buy the entire thing again. Finally found the driver, got it working but the Audacity software is junk, playback is way too fast, useless, total lack of help or manuals on the driver or the recording software. Cannot get Audacity to record any music, it will only record the voice of the singer, have tried every help, computer setting or tutorial I can and nothing works.

No issues with this item. It worked right out of the box. I used it to convert an old reel to reel tape to various digital formats. My apple laptop was able to communicate with the Audio Capture Card right away with not issues. As for the software, I used QuickTime to do the initial conversion to m4A format and then Audacity for the conversion to other formats of my choice. All that had a bit of a learning curve and I can't say I did it in the most efficient manner. But, it worked and there are plenty of YouTube video on how to convert with both QuickTime and Audacity.

I've recommended these to friends for streaming (before a lot of the DJ software made it easy to capture their audio directly) and they work very well to quickly add an audio capture device on Windows, Mac, or Linux. They are supported out of the box without driver installation, even on Linux, where it shows up as an ALSA device that "just works". The sound quality is fine, not audiophile, but absolutely acceptable for streaming. I wouldn't use one of these if I was, for example, archiving vinyl or something, but for general audio capture, it works well.The problem is that I have had two of them fail for no reason in the past two years. It's a twenty dollar USB device, so I can't really complain that much. But by way of comparison, I also have a Griffin iMic, which cost thirty three dollars ten years ago, that still works. It's a comparable product - albeit, it uses 3.5mm jacks exclusively - but apparently the build quality is that much better. It's been bounced around multiple houses, tossed from box to box and place to place, and it still functions as well as the day I bought it. But two of these VTOP USB audio interfaces have died on me in two years.

Works as expected, just follow the instructions.
