Got cassette music? Got vinyl records? No problem: port it all to digital formats with this gadget!

ADS Instant Music makes converting analog music effortless and fun.
Last week, my husband bought an ADS music convertor, and I thought ‘oh no, another $50 gadget we’ll get frustrated with and toss out.’ wrong. I was so wrong. This baby delivers!

Everything you need to convert your music from analog to digital is included with this unassuming gadget: the cables, the usb connector, the software for conversion, even the cassette tape player! He had it up and running within minutes of unboxing it.
The ADS Instant Music convertor, a USB audio capture device bundled with connectors and software, enables a PC to convert old cassette tapes and vinyl records to mp3 music or wav files. We’re busy porting that ‘blast from the past music’ collection on old cassette tapes and vinyl records to his PC, iPod and DVD!
What I like about the ADS is its included software also cleans up the hiss and scratches from your tapes and records! And you can manipulate the music’s sound to suit your taste, cut’n’snip sound bites or even do a mash up of your favorite songs.

“Capture from any audio source: cassette, turn table, TV, radio, DVD… “ Unbelievable, but true.

While some gadgets spy on their users, the ADS just works, and gosh, I hope it doesn’t spy on us. Gotta check up on that… you never know.
