but I really didn't need all of that, it was a lot bigger than this model, and the reviews weren't that good. I wanted something around [.]. This is compact, portable (with the adapter), and sounds pretty damn good. that had built in speakers. Target had the Crosley one that played records, cds, tapes, AND the radio for [.]. When the person I got the gift for opened it, we put on Rocket Man by Elton John and were amazed on how "live" and crisp it sounded. Definitely recommend this model.
It's perfect for what I bought it for: simply listening to records around the house. It's compact, cute, and the sound is great. I love it.
I have a very large collection of vinyls and bought this portable to make playing them a lot more convenient. I found it sounds better in a larger room - not sure why. I have a very pricey Sony turntable in my entertainment center, but that limits my listening to the living room. The sound quality is exceptionally good, given that it is a portable and has a smallish amplifier. I do recommend buying extra diamond stylus(es), but if you like to play your records in the kitchen or your bedroom or the family room, I find this little portable a lot of fun - and for the price, quite a bargain. Then again, if you haul out your heavy metal or full orchestra recordings, you may have to go back to your components.
I just recieved the player. I have not used this devices USB connectablity and most likely will not. As I said it works great for someone basic like myself.
I'm pleased to have purchased it. 2) Also, the cover must be removed to play a 33, since the lid is too small, 45's and 78's will play with the cover closed. The speakers aren't top of the line but it does get pretty loud with descent quality.
However, I do have some complaints; 1) The cover pops off easily from the back and does not have a device to hold it open. If you want something more high end, quality both sound and materials look towards something else, perhaps spend a bit more money. As far as I can tell it play's my 33's at the right speed.
3) lastly, the materials used in making this product scream CHEAP. If you want something to move vinyl to MP3 look elsewhere.
Other than that have been going through albums I haven't had the chance to listen to for years which is great. Also remove the plastic needle cover before trying to play.
Didn't work either due to hardware problems or the audio conversion software provided by the manufacturer. I had bought another brand record player to do USB/ip3 transfers.
The on/off device is built into the tone arm so you need to move the arm first to the right to turn on the table but the table turns off automatically when the end of the record is reached. So returned it but still wanted to have something to play records on.
This record player did the trick right away out of the box. I didn't and it just skipped over the record until I figured it out.
High marks for a very affordable record player.
