I'm interested in the Ion Tape2PC. But from the way it's described, I'm unsure if it will fully function on a Mac.

Ion Tape2PC USB cassette deck

Despite the unit's name, I'd like to be able to save my old cassettes onto my Mac's hard drive.

Yes

Bought one for my Dad's birthday last weekend. He's a PC user, but as I remember it the software included was EZ Tape Convertor, which is PC only and Audacity with is PC and Mac compatible.

Ion tells us the Tape2PC comes with EZ Audio Converter software, which will run on a Mac. The unit hooks up to the computer by USB.

Ion also provides Audacity, a free, open source sound editor to allow you to clean up tracks. Again, it's provided in both Mac and Windows versions.
