Super materials and very easy to use. So no need to use software not need to go through a computer. it just simply press the right button and record directly to a USB key. Then just import your songs on your computer. In addition, I TUNES plays songs recorded without problem. I do not know how this player will AGING in time but for now, it allows me to easily backup my songs on tapes recovered. One downside (but it is also the case for other readers) you must listen to the tape simultaneously recording to be able to separate the different pieces of music. I repeat super easy to use even if the user manual is in English and very good recording. In fact, it depends on the state of your cassette ... Very happy with my purchase.
