Vinyl Record Player with speakers

I have a small number of vinyl LPs that I need to transfer to my iPhone Music app. This unit seemed ideal and it proved to be so. I managed to transfer four tracks from the first LP on to an SD card which loadedly perfectly into the Music app my iMac. I started successfully to build up an 'album’ but then things went seriously wrong. The turntable refused to record anything more. After trying other brands of turntable and then getting a replacement Digitnow unit which similarly would not seem to record, I bought a new USB stick and tried again. Success! It seems that reformatting the media caused the problems. My advice is to buy a brand new USB stick or SD card and use it – straight from the packaging – exclusively for disc-to-MP3 transfer work and don't, under any circumstances, reformat it at any time. In my opinion, having tried other brands of turntable-to-MP3 units, the Digitnow is the best of the bunch. One of the alternative units transferred straight to computer, but I found the sound quality unacceptable. Another advertised MP3 encoding, but produced WAV files in mono! My advice for build quality, versatility of sound sources, and audio quality is to go with the Digitnow, drag your MP3 files in to the free (from app stores) Audacity app to 'top and tail’ edit them, but don't reformat your nice new USB/SD card.

A good cheap way to put down those old vinyls on memory stick or card. It handles the 3 usual disc speeds. With internal speakers can deliver grams, built-in radio, MP3 input or Bluetooth transfers. I found that vinyls transfered to memory stick, whilst MP3 files, were not usable on any editing programs I have, but play straight out from the capture device only. There is a phono output for headphones or separate digital recorder, which can then transfer to editing facilities. The amp system is naturally very bottom end, and editing may be necessary to filter out any noticable hum or rumble in speech or music of any sensitive character. However , at the price, you will get a working turntable to review those old discs in the attic.

Someone else says that you should look no further. I agree. This, for the money, is a fantastic buy. It's hard to find a fault. Sound quality is excellent. Very easy to use. Again, look no further.

Brilliant device and fantastic quality

ok so it's not expensive and you get what you pay for I suppose but still ... sound at full volume is just about equal to a phone at a pinch. the turntable works.... but you can only just get an LP to fit on it where the arm is sited. Sound is tinny as anything whether that's down to the speakers or the stylus quality or what I don't know but I know what that album sounds like on a turntable even after all these years and that is not it. UB40 - Many Rivers To Cross is not just Ali sounding like he's been kneed in the groin and a vague hum in the background ... you'd be forgiven for thinking so if this was the first time you heard it! I didn't even try the cassette player as I didn't trust it not to chew up the hubby's precious collection The dials on the front for volume are just too plastic for words but think a toy from a poundshop and take off a bit. You know , when you get a cheap toy with any kind of plastic twisty bit and you get that awful scuffy , scratchy noise .....yup! Made my neck retract like a tortoise! So just nope!

I bought this to record my LPs to MP3 format. You're supposed to be able to record to SD card or USB stick, but so far I can only get USB stick to work. Tried both a micros in an adapter and a full size SD card and neither works. As long as USB works I guess that's okay but reduces options. I'll keep trying other SD cards and see what happens. Sound is fairly good - what you'd expect in an all-in-one for this money... Depends on the type of music you're playing I guess. Can be quite tinny sounding sometimes, others less so. I haven't tried the remote yet which has equaliser functions for rock n pop, so I'll update when I've tried that... I want more bass. What I am pleased about though is that when I played my USB tracks through my Apple Mac, which is hooked up to better sound system, the tracks sounded much better 😀👍

Only had it for 1 day but it works well and the sound quality for the price is better than I thought.

Does the job
