After reading the reviews, running a demo version of the software and attempting to get to the ion site, this is an awful alternative to just buying the CDs of my albums. I own over 350 LPs and have done extensive research in locating their CD counterparts without issue. One particular review captured my eye which prompted me to download the software and run a simulated “rip” of and LP. The reviewer was correct! The process vs. CD purchase is a no-brainer. The time, cost and quality ratio is out to lunch. Even with a simulated rip, there is no question one would be better off just researching for themselves (all of a few hours for 100′s of vinyls) and buying the CDs. One other point to make is the ion site is still trying to load as I write this review, enough said…

You put it together, itself a daunting task, and plug it in, and lo–it disables your laptop, which now cannot find its operating system. The only place this is going is right back to the store.

I was very frustrated with the software and the instructions that came along with this item. The software has a lot of clutter and poor instructions. Maybe this software is easier to use if you’ve had some experience with DJ software or recording music. As for the turntable, there are pretty good instructions for set-up, but that’s about it. And why would a turntable come with no cover of any kind?

Update – March 20th – Another email from Amazon saying it is still backordered.
Yes, it is a good product, with the limitations other people list ( No needle lift, no dust cover, have to manually split tracks )
Ordered one on Feb 12, every few days Amazon sends me a new email that shipping is delayed again. Finally after complaining, Amazon admitted;
“We have learned that “Ion iTTUSB Turntable with USB Record” is now back-ordered, and our supplier has not been able to let us know exactly when they expect to have more in stock. ”
BUT they won’t let me cancel the order since it “is in shipping status”.
So I had to report my Credit Card as lost and pay a $ 10 fee for the pleasure. Circuit City has it in stock, don’t trust Amazon
