Years of teen angst slavishly devoted to making the ultimate compilations of all time on countless Memorex C-90s, - they were what Saturday and Sunday afternoons were for back in the '70s and 80's. All that effort sadly went to waste with the advent of CDs and then MP3s, and for years now those treasured cassettes have sat in drawers, un-played, love and sweat shot down by technology. Well now at last they can be re-born, and you can re-incarnate all those tragic monuments to lost loves, and the best mod rock collection ever, with the Instant Music Vinyl & Cassette Ripper. Not a very slick name, but a very slick piece of equipment.
Dust off your old cassette deck and polish up your record player, they have one final task before they die. Simply plug this bit of kit into your PC or Mac and hook up your old kit to the Ripper (it comes with all the combinations of cable you could need to connect your dinosaur hi-fi to the unit). Using your computer's USB port, the Instant Music ripper starts recording from the analog audio source onto digital audio formats WAV, WMA, MP3 and AAC. So your 70s classics and homemade compilations can be made into shiny CDs and added to your playlists, you can even use the included Nero software for filtering out sound imperfections and restoring your favourite tunes of old. Use the LP or Cassette to Audio CD Wizards in the included Nero SoundTrax software to go from LP to CD audio in 4 simple steps; recording, track detection, noise reduction and burning the CD. Re-live your youth without all the agonizing peer pressure and standing in the kitchen at parties. Nostalgia is what used to be.

Customer Reviews for Instant Music Ripper
Fantastic! I just can't stop. Out have come all my old treasured LPs and cassettes - fantastic to be able to hear them again, play them in the car, lend them to friends, copy them to my MP3 players. Thank you IWOOT - one of the best things I've bought from you - and I've bought a few!

Superb - quality of audio cassette to CD is excellent. Thank you very much!
Dave Root, Silver end nr. witham essex
I'm a Modern Languages teacher, and schools are known for not having much money to spread around. All of our resources are on cassette, and few pupils have a cassette player, so I am in the process of converting the cassettes to CD - and it's so easy to set up, and even better - it can be edited easily (especially if you've got a little knowledge of Audacity). To get a conversion product through school would cost £300 - and you don't have the chance to name the tracks or edit them!
Thank you so much - I'm hoping to improve results with the help of this wonderful piece of equipment!
Christine Hutchins, Westward Ho
This is a great little gadget, really compact but does what it says on the tin. I have already converted loads of my vinyls, and the software supplied even cleaned up on of my knackered old ones with popping etc. A great buy I would recommend it to anyone!
Alex, Camberley
Fantastic - This is a must buy ! Sound quality is superb and it's very easy to use. Go and buy yourself one - what have you got to lose?
Claire Watson, Southampton
I have an aversion to instruction manuals and need all my gadgets to reveal their mysteries to me instantly by just looking at them. This one did so (well you have to quickly scan a single sheet with some pretty obvious diagrams on first but I can manage that). After that, I didn't need to change any of the default settings, it just worked. The sound quality is very satisfactory and I am very excited to be re-claiming all those ancient tapes at last!
