Just when you got all your fave music on vinyl – they went and invented cassettes and you had to start all over. Just when you'd sorted your tape collection they went and invented CDs, then DVDs, now you've got to pay to download them all in mp3! How many times will you buy (and how much money will you spend for) the same Deep Purple album in a different format?

Enough is enough! The iMusic Vinyl & Cassette Converter is the solution. The iMusic software allows you to convert your LPs and audio tapes and cassettes onto CD (includes full featured CD burner application) or into .WAV or .MP3 files for both Windows or Mac OS X, ready to be copied to your iPod or MP3 player. Designed specifically with records and cassette tapes (and their owners) in mind, so you don't have to be Bill Gates to use it and you don't have to be an audio engineer to get the best sound.

The makers of the iMusic Vinyl & Cassette Converter have designed the conversion process to be as easy and intuitive as possible – so you can give iMusic as a Father's Day gift to even the most technophobic Dad. Just install the software and let the step-by-step wizard lead the way.

iMusic doesn't just rip the audio, it can enhance it as well, with audio restoration tools including automatic hiss and noise reduction, click/pop elimination from vinyl as well as the ability to repair damaged audio. If you don't have a 78rpm player, just play it on 45rpm and let iMusic do the rest! You can even set "floor noise" to detect silence so it automatically splits tracks.

Protect and restore (and more importantly, start ENJOYING) your record and cassette collection with the iMusic Vinyl and Cassette Converter Software.
