Instant Music for MAC from ADS-Tech is a USB interface for the Mac computer that allows the user to archive LPs and cassettes, and create audio CDs in various formats, including MP3.
Capturing audio on the Mac with the Instant Music device is as simple as connecting the unit to a USB port and launching Roxio's CD Spin Doctor 3 software. Once captured as AIFF files, the data can then be converted to many popular digital audio formats, including MP3, AAC or Apple Lossless using iTunes.
