the micorder will record from any headphone jack , and yes the cassette headpone jack - batterys in micorder last a week at least and can be recharged in less than 30 minutes - the micorder has excellent sound and can play back on our dj system too. you can also record any music from utube from your laptop headphone jack - micorder has a sm card that holds days of music - great product..tommy

If your cassette deck has a headphone jack, yes you can. Run the headphone jack to the line-in on the MiCorder, and record. Then you can dump the track on iTunes via USB. The tracks will appear in your iTunes library with track titles X000001, X000002, etc. The unit is rechargeable via USB.

I have used it to just listen. You need to load the software that comes with it, which also allow you to record your music. It is designed to plug in RCA type cables from your cassette deck or turntable and then hook to the computer via USB cable. I have an iMac and it works great for the intended purpose.

Yes, it is absolutely possible. I have been using mine to record from albums on my stereo. You end up with one big windows media file for each side of the record (or each side of the cassette) unless there are very long pauses between tracks (in which case it may separate them into distinct files). The recorded tracks are labelled by the date and time of recording, but you can download them to your computer, rename them, and burn them to a CD if you like. I have been happy with this aspect of the player, what I really don't like is that my screen died, I replaced it, the screen died AGAIN on the replacement, I replaced that one, and the screen just died last night on number 3. All this within ten months, and I don't abuse the thing. Replacement is relatively quick, but you have to go through a run around with customer service before they will give you and RMA number, then you have to pay for shipping. My first replacement was free, but the second cost $25, and so will the latest. After the first year, I think you just have to buy a new one. Not good.

I have not tried it, but you should be able to. There is a 'record' button for the tape deck.

No you can not record from CD to cassette tape because this model does not record. Their are Sony radios that do record though. artras@att.net

Sorry I won't be able to completely answer your question as I am out of town, returning next Wednesday. The unit was purchased to copy cassette tapes to CD's. I have the unit connected to my receiver and can monitor the tape being recorded to cd, and can play back the cd. I do not believe speakers can be connected directly to the unit. The unit would have to have an AUX input to do the vinyl LP thing and since I am away, I cannot verify that feature. I can check it when I return if that's any help. My email is rcrector@verizon.net if you haven't found an answer by next Wednesday.......Ron Sorry I won't be able to completely answer your question as I am out of town, returning next Wednesday.

Just plug in, no need batteries. You can use it for LPs 33, 78 and singles 45. It takes CDs and USB, so you can copy from vinyl or CD to MP3.

I run Audacity on my older MacBook with Snow Leopard & export the files into iTunes, so iOS 7 is probably irrelevant. I can sync any tunes I burned to my iPhone thru iTunes. The turntable connects via USB; you should make sure Audacity is compatible with Mavericks. Here's the thing with this or any turntable converter - you are copying analog audio to digital files in real time, which means if you have 300 hours of music on vinyl (like me) it will take 300 hours to copy them all. (If you're looking to convert cassette tapes you may be able to find solutions that can transfer at higher speeds.) Then you have to break up the files into individual songs, which Audacity doesn't do on its own, although there is a way to do it with the software (I'm learning this step now). It's very time consuming. There may be other programs that can recognize breaks between songs, but the fact is there's still noise between songs on your albums (needle chatter, old scratches, etc.). I'm happy with this turntable and the software; for about 100 bucks I'll be able to transfer a bunch of vinyl that I own plus a bunch more that a relative had to let go so I'm trying to give them their music back. But make no mistake, it's a bare-bones solution. If you want to press a button and have your vinyl broken into individual songs, cleaned up of analog noise and catalogued you'll have to spend a LOT more money - if the solution even exists.

No, I only have a cd player. It doesn't have a cassette player on the unit to record.

this is not applicable because you don't need a computer for this item to work. You can insert the usb cable into any usb port (on computer, or I have also been using my portable battery chargers with usb connection) for power or use batteries. Then inset a flash drive, put in your cassette tape, pres record and you are good to go. When you have copied your tape, you can then transfer your MP3 files to computer (Windows or Apple) - both will accept MP3 files. It is quick and amazing. I have copied about 8 tapes today quietly while at work, accessing my usb drive on computer.

You can listen directly through headphones. However, this unit is not powered by batteries, but from an external supply that comes through the USB port or from another source so you wouldn't be able to use it while walking around away from your computer. The whole point of this unit is to convert your tapes to MP3's or iPhone format which you can then load onto your iPhone or other digital device. If you just want to listen to old tapes, find an old Walkman and put some new batteries in it.

Yes, but it doesn't work as well as you would think. It's inexpensive so you get what you pay for. I now just use it primarily as a car tape player (I go thru many batteries) as I only have a car CD player. And I connect the cassette player to my AUX port in the car. I would really suggest buying a cassette to recordable cd machine if you have as many to convert as I do. Costs more to get quality recordings.

Yes, it was easily downloaded off a mini disc. I've converted a couple cassettes to mp3 on my iPod. It's pretty easy to work.

Steve, the recording quality was very bad and we ended up returning the unit. My older sister has an immense album collection we want to convert but we are still looking for a good quality converter and have yet to find one. This has been some years now since we started looking. good luck mc

Yes and No. No, you do not need batteries and you are right...all you need is a wall outlet for the recorder to work. Just plug the AC Adapter and you can record to your heart's content. However, if you want to record outdoors or if you do not have access to a wall outlet, then batteries are a must!

There is a voice recording feature of the MP3 USB device. However, As far as I can tell - I have had several of these, you cannot record from the radio when they play, for instance, your favorite tune. Sorry. I do remember my first Cassette recorder had that capability but this device does not
