"Griffin iMic -- Easy to work with"

I had been looking every where for a solution for copying my albums into a digital format. I have a Mac, so I just plugged this into the turntable and into the USB port. I followed the instructions and was recording within a few minutes. The results are fantastic. I already had a good turntable so this was the best solution! I can even record my guitar straight into my computer with the iMic.
"Plug-and-Play Mic Input"

I originally picked up the iMic so that I could use a microphone headset with my G5. It has worked perfectly since. It was simply plug-and-play for me, no fuss, no muss. It looks like it's more expensive now than when I purchased it, but at the time, it was a fairly inexpensive way to get decent mic functionality on a Mac.
It does also work on a PC, though I haven't really done much experimentation with it. I'd definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a way to get a mic to work with a computer that doesn't have a built-in mic port.
"Works Perfect for Ripping Vinyl"

I bought this product to rip vinyl with my Numark portable turntable, my ibook G4, and the Audacity software. I'm very happy with the results. I couldn't do it without the imic, because I don't have an input jack on my laptop.
I just bought this and it won't work on my machine. I searched the Griffin site and it said that the device doesn't work on Vista. Of course, neither the box nor any of the online advertising mentions this. I guess it sucks to be me.
I just bought this device through Amazon and I absolutely LOVE it! I have some hard to find audio collection on audio cassettes, which I was hanging on to, but thankfully I can now discard them now that I have the entire content digitized and saved on my computer in MP3! The iMIC device is pretty much plug-n-play. However, you will need to download an audio capture program. I really like "Audacity", which is a shareware program and has some VERY powerful sound editing features. For example, removing that annoying "hiss" from the cassete sound is a snap with Audacity. You will also need to download MP3 encoder (Audacity website has this information). One word of caution: they claim that Audacity is not compatible with Windows Vista, but I had no problem with it to capture the audio. However, I could not export it into MP3. Not sure why, but I used my Windows XP computer and everything worked nicely. iMIC + Audacity is a great combo!
