EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter. EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter

makes it easy to turn your music into digital files. After

you finish converting your vinyl, you can then burn to

CD or load onto portable media devices.

Use the included software download card to download and install the software, and follow the

on-screen instructions. See Setting Compact LP as the Default Recording Device before

starting to record.
