I have one, I THINK the same brand (Ion). It will come up as a USB audio 
device and you can use any program to take in the audio. I used Audacity 
to record the whole album side and then cut into tracks. Then some other 
command line programs for hiss/pop filtering. There is some info on the 
web for different programs to use with them. Worked good for my uses and 
its not hooked up right now but it will be again soon.
