If you, or someone in your family has a large collection of that age old analog media known as cassettes, Ion has your back. Instead of hoping everything from your collection is on iTunes, this device/software combo can transfer all your cassettes directly into iTunes.

There is the dual tape deck with USB port that connects to your PC or Mac, driver free. Then there is the software that comes with, Audacity and the EZ Tape Converter from Mix Meister.

Combined the two can transfer your entire cassette library to a bunch MP3’s ready for loading onto your MP3 player. Its priced for $200.10, no word on release date or how long it takes to record the cassettes, or what happens when your tape jams and ruins the whole cassette.
