Excellent and simple recording device for use with computers. I used it to transfer music composed/performed on a keyboard/sequencer to a laptop. Easy to install USB driver and very good headphone monitor output. Low noise level and CD quality results. This device would be ideal for transferring tapes, LPs, etc., (if you need a phono preamp there is a model with this included...however, I would opt for a better quality unit than tiny op amps which are USB powered) to a computer for CD archiving. Highly recommended.
