The iPROFILE is a revolutionary product which allows you to record music from vinyl
records and external audio sources (e.g., tape players, reel-to-reel, etc.) directly to
your iPod*. In addition, the USB turntable connects directly to your computer to turn
your treasured vinyl recordings into digital music. We have included software to aid
you in converting your vinyl recordings: Please note that it is not required to install
any software in order to record directly to your iPod. However, you should install one
of the following applications to take advantage of computer recording:
EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter
(PC only) is the quickest and easiest way to turn
your recordings into digital media. EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter conveniently saves your recordings in your iTunes* library.
Novice users may find this application preferable. On the CD, we have included a handy Software Quickstart Guide
with step-by-step instructions on software installation and operation.
EZ Audio Converter
(Mac only) is a basic converter application for Mac OS X and is ideal for novice users. Please
refer to the included Software Quickstart Guide for step-by-step instructions on software installation and operation.
To install the software: simply insert the included CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions. After you finish
converting your vinyl, you can then burn to CD or load onto portable media devices.
