After which the USB interface of the turntable suddenly stopped working, and the appliance is now a costly and mostly useless encumbrance, although I can still use it as a small ship’s anchor, or to play LP records through the PC sound system; small consolation.

Update: It is in use again, having added a Behringer UCA202 U-Control Audio Interface which gives USB output from the RCA jacks.

However, that never happened because the first delicate drop of the needle onto an album resulted in the arm moving erratically across the first song...skipping and jumping and...scratching! Needless to say it ruined the album so I returned the turntable for another. Using a less loved album, this next one did the same thing! I ended up getting my money back and using some of it to buy a replacement for the great album that was ruined by this alluring and savage creature called Vinyl Writer. I wanted to give this 0 stars, but I guess 1 is the minimum. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought one of these thinking the software may be easier to edit album to mp3, and it was a bit easier.

There is NO adjustment for needle pressure on this piece of plastic. I even tried taping a penny to the top of the arm and that didn't help. <br /> <br />What a waste of money Rating: 1 / 5 I bought the grace usb recordable turntable and the needle just slides all over the place.

IMHO I think the stylus is ruining my records. I only used it once and I will gladly give it away for free, just pay for shipping.
