The only negative about this purchase is the mini-disc containing the software provided in the appendix.
Since I do not drive to such a disk, I have obviously not been able to install it.
But for those who are in the same situation (see for example the commentary BDK), it's not a real problem: the free software Audacity download in lots of places, replaces smoothly. And this both for capturing sound files for further handling and recording in WAV or MP3.
A tip though: carefully choose a good platform for downloading (eg SourceForge, LiberKey) to avoid malicious software.
Otherwise, you can always buy a mini-disc player ...
2. ----- Performance
Now the performance of the device: outstanding! Its use is very easy, and the results have no audible distortion.
Its lightweight side and its very small footprint are also significant assets.
I was wary of some a priori USB power, which must ensure both the mechanical portion of the tape drive and the electronics .. But no, everything goes really well.
3. ----- Precautions
As noted Sirene, the installation of the device is also lightweight. It therefore goes without saying that you should not bully. But for the careful user, strength seems amply sufficient.
4. Conclusion -----
*** *** A great purchase to save and / or reproduce multiple copies, sometimes priceless archives and listen to with the current comfort electronics. With two AA batteries, this unit can also be used as single player as "the good old days."
