User questions & answers

Question:	Can I record mp3 files from my computer into a tape with this product
Answer:	good morning!with this specific product you can only transfer from what was on a cassette tape to an MP3 file . You cant record the MP3 files and have them transferred to tape. I do apologize
Question:	I'm not sure if anyone has commented on this, Does it have automatic flip so you don't have to turn cassette over
Answer:	No it doesn't turn the cassette over automatically. Once placed in the ION the cassettes work from left to right. I find the instruction easy to follow, and once you have transferred side 1 of your tape to your computer, you simply turn take the tape out turn it round and place it back into the ION again follow the instructions again to then copy side 2 to your computer. I am 71 years of age and I find the ION Tape Express really easy to use.
Question:	I installed, and re-installed 3x time today because every time i go to open it,it tells me to install itunes, which i do, over and over. help
Answer:	I had the same problem. It appears that it is trying to install a version of iTunes that is outdated or that the current version of iTunes is not compatible/recognized by this converter. That is why I threw the one I bought in the trash. I did keep the headphones as this is the only useful part of, what is in my opinion, hunk of junk. My advise is to pitch it and consider what you paid an expensive lesson. I know I did.
Question:	I tried recording some tracks and thought it was working. But when I went to I tunes and tried to play them there was no sound. Any suggestions
Answer:	I know this is an old post, but thought I would add my two cents. I had the same issue. My computer showed that the item was recorded. I could see the levels on the speakers indicating the track was being played but still had no sound. I tried just unplugging the headphones from the Ion Tape Express per an earlier suggestion, but that didn't work either. I then unplugged the Ion from the computer, and bam! I had I sound. I think as long as the Ion is still connected via USB it is using that for playback. Once you unplug the USB it will play through computer. Hope that helps. I just transferred a track from a home recording that a friend and I did 22 years ago and it came out great!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this run on Win
Answer:	I had to work with the Corel help desk for over 10 days to get mine to work on Windows 10. The software disk that came with it was labeled Windows 7 and 8 and Copyrighted 2013 (before Windows 10 was released). The help desk eventually sent me to a link where I could download a new version of Pinnacle Studio for Dazzle which was Copyrighted 2020. Maybe I just got a box that has been sitting on the shelves for years?
Question:	Will this plug into 1394 FireWire to upload mini dvc footage onto computer
Answer:	It's AV (Component) to USB. So no compatibility with FireWire out of the box.
Question:	does this device capture in avi
Answer:	Yes it does Dayna. The video editing software that comes with it has this feature in its recording settings.
Question:	Does this work with vhs-c tapes or a jvc gr-ax74 camera
Answer:	You run the video from your camera through your computer via the Dazzle. It feeds to the dazzle program and then creates a cd. It is a bit of a trip learning to use Dazzle program including a few failed disk prints. Once you get it down it is a breeze.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with blue tooth speakers
Answer:	No. It does not.
Question:	How loud is the sound
Answer:	It depends on how loud you want it. I think it has a good range. We live in a small ranch style house and I turn it up while cleaning and am able to enjoy it, or I have it on for background noise while cooking. I really love this player. For the money and for as simple as a model it is, I really recommend it.
Question:	Can you record cd onto usb drive? can you play music from a usb drive
Answer:	No to both. The recording software gets installed on a computer, which is connected via USB cable to the Victrola. The CD player on the Victrola not a CDRW. There is no place to plug a USB drive on the Victrola, the USB output for a computer (with the recording software) is not a standard USB, it's like the end that plugs into a printer (type B?).
Question:	can the stylus be replaced
Answer:	I believe you can replace the stylus. a if you look closely near the stylus you can see the red plastic piece with the stylus. These are replaceable and sold on amazon as well.
