So, you're not gaining much (if anything) in conversion over the cheaper models. When we tested this model it actually improved the sound quality in some instances, but this is something Audacity does more effectively once you've actually copied the music to your PC. It's far from perfect when it comes to copying cassettes but, for the most part, does a good job.

This makes it an effective player, but how does the copying stand up?

This converter is constructed of sturdier materials than some other Walkman-style converters, like the DigitNow, and that is reflected in the price, as you'll pay close to $40 for it. If you don’t need a full-bodied tape deck, but still want high-quality audio conversions, consider the Ion Tape Express Plus.
