Summary: merax Digi Deck Plusdeck2 C tape to mp3 recorder
Comment: The merax Digi Deck Plusdeck2 C is a very good. It performs as expected. After a while though it stopped finishing converting the wave file to mp3.
But, thats OK because you can use Audacity or any othe audio converter. Audio quality is only as good as the tape was which is to be expected. Overall we are pleased with its performance and recommend it to others. 4 stars

Summary: It works
Comment: This is the set it and forget it unit. Intalling it and using it is simple. Put the tape in click convert, save as, and it does the rest.
There are some glitches but if it's like other hardware & software the problem my be the operating system.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great product
Comment: This is a great product for placing audio tapes on your hard drive or converting them to CD's. This is easy to use and saves money by copying the tapes yourself.

Summary: Good idea, bad execution
Comment: I received this item as a Christmas gift and was excited about the idea of converting my library of tapes to mp3 files. The actual install on my machine (HP Pavillion 1226n) took about an hour but I needed to add a serial port since my machine did not come with one. I have USB and Firefire out the kazootie but no serial port. (Why do they not make this deck for a USB port? I mean serial is primitive by today's standards. Anyway, got the unit installed, (had to remove one of the CD Rom drives, so make sure you have a spare 5.25 bay to put this puppy in if you're determined to have it), fired up the software, and we were off and running. The software loaded fine and while it isn't replete with user features, it is serviceable. The problem is the deck itself. The second tape I played was eaten. And I mean chewed to bits. This was not some moldy tape that had been sitting in my convertible visor for that past 5 years. Nor was this a 120 minute job caked with dust. This was just a standard 90 minute tape that plays fine in my car and every other deck I have. The Plus Deck 2c is an auto reverse deck, which in theory should be helpful, but I don't think it is of the quality of some of the better decks you can find in today's vehicles. The real problem here is that this deck should be highly resistant to jamming and eating tapes if it is really going to be worth buying. I mean, you are probably purchasing it to replace your old tapes. Key word here...OLD. If this little ditty will only play NEW tapes, then you won't need it, will you? The other thing is, I think this would work much better as a peripheral stand alone plugged into a USB or Firewire port. The deck could be a pop top or open front where you can get at the tape drives and clean them when necessary. This unit is like a car unit that swallows the whole cassette. If you get a tape wound in there, good luck. Anyway, I like the idea of this product, but it was executed poorly in my experience. I would not bother with it.

Summary: Excelent product!
Comment: I have a lot of tapes to save and Plusdeck was the best solution. Im waiting to see the next generation. Ive seen that in Europe they have already Plusdeck EX which is not integrated to the PC.
