I have not bought this cassette player for digitizing's, but just to get to hear again cassettes. I have tried it anyway and have to say that the digitizing works best on's audio cable, ie directly from the PC sound card, because it takes with USB and the noise of the motor's. You do need a link cable (3.5mm)
Conclusion: I have to say for small money you get here a little decent cassette player, the more or less do its job well, who would but have something qualitatively better, of course, have to dig deeper into their pocket, on the whole, I'm pleased with the Skywalker.
