Copy LPs, Tapes & Minidisc to Mac, CD & MP3
Copy all your old Vinyl LPs, Cassettes & Minidiscs to an Apple Mac using our transfer kit - one end plugs into the headphone socket on your player, the other to the 3.5mm Line-In or Mic socket on your Mac.

Once the tracks are on your Mac's hard drive, you'll be able to: burn them onto a regular audio CD; upload the tracks, as .MP3 files, to your iPod or mobile phone; or just keep them in your music library on the Mac itself.

Contains all the Leads, Software and Detailed Instructions required for the job.

Software included:


Audio Capture: Excellent open-source audio editing tool. Compatible with all versions of Mac OSX. Free upgrades for life. Best product available for the job, used by more people than any other.

Burn Audio CD: Open-source CD writing application - lets you burn the captured .wav files to regular audio CDs. Tested with all versions of Mac OSX.

You can even use the supplied cables to connect a Mac running iTunes to your home stereo. That's right, once you're finished copying your old Vinyl you can use our leads to turn your stereo into an iTunes jukebox - just connect the Mac's headphone socket to the Stereo's CD/Video-In, using our cables and adapters.

All software is Open-Source - it is not demo, shareware or time-limited in any way.


Why spend £80 on a USB turntable and another £100 on a USB cassette deck?
This kit gives great results using your existing stereo ( regular headphone socket required ).


Our kit also does away with the need for an expensive iPod Speaker Dock -
Use our leads to connect your iPod's headphone socket to your TV's or Stereo's audio phono input.

Just check our eBay Feedback below.


Our kit connects the headphone socket on your Walkman, HiFi system,
Portable music centre, or Minidisc player to the 3.5mm audio Line-In socket on your Mac.

Your Mac MUST have a 3.5mm Line-In/Mic input, like the one in the photo.
If you don't see the same Audio In socket on your Mac, please don't order the kit.

Current Mac models with a 3.5mm Line-In - looking at photos on apple.com - are iMac, Mac Mini & Macbook Pro.
However, the Macbook & Macbook Air don't appear to have a 3.5mm Line In.
