INTRODUCTION

PROFILE PRO connects directly to your computer to turn your treasured vinyl recordings into digital music. We have included several software packages to aid you in converting your vinyl recordings. You should install one of the following applications to take advantage of computer recording:

EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (PC only) is the quickest and easiest way to turn your recordings into digital media. EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter conveniently saves your recordings in your iTunes* library. Novice users may find this application preferable. We have included a handy Software Quickstart Guide with step-by-step instructions on software installation and operation.
EZ Audio Converter (Mac only) is a basic converter application for Mac OS X and is ideal for novice users. Please refer to the included Software Quickstart Guide for step-by-step instructions on software installation and operation.

To install the software: simply insert the included CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions. After you finish converting your vinyl, you can then burn to CD or load onto portable media devices.

For transferring your vinyl records to your computer, we have provided two different software packages on the included CD. EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (PC) and EZ Audio Converter (Mac) are the easiest and quickest ways to transfer your vinyl records and should be used if you are a beginner.
