The Pros:Comes with the large RCA 45 spindle adapter for super-large RCA spindle 45s. Very simple and straightforward process for ripping: press record and start playing. Automatic track sensor is very handy, automatically breaks up files into separate tracks.

The Cons:Included editing software isn't very user friendly. Included driver CD is outdated, not worth the bother-download the driver's from ION's website. The Automatic Track Sensor often misses track separations, making manual editing necessary.
