Great for transcribing vinyl records to MP3 files on your computer. Original software CD is included but I’d recommend downloading the latest version of the free “Audacity” software instead. Play 33 and 45 rpm records, and you can even transcribe 78rpm records by playing at 33 and then using Audacity to convert the speed! There’s also a mini-jack input on the deck for transcribing other inputs to USB/MP3 eg from a cassette player.
Perhaps more important in the long term is that replacement stylii and drive belts are available on eBay and Amazon should you ever need them.
Here’s the manufacturer’s blurb…iTTUSB is an innovative turntable with USB connection enabling anyone to transfer music from records to computer. On your computer, you can listen to your music, record it to CD, or transfer it to your iPod or MP3* player and take it with you.
iTTUSB connects with ease to your home stereo with a switchable-level output. You can connect iTTUSB to your stereo even if you don’t have a phono input no preamp required! ION’s exclusive software gives you a powerful set of tools that make transferring your music easy. EZ Vinyl Converter is the best way to record and convert vinyl directly to your iTunes music library. iTTUSB also has a line input jack so you can connect other music sources such as cassette decks, and turn your other music into MP3s*.
And here’s a couple of web reviews.
ION TURNTABLE, IN NEED OF WELL DESERVED MERIT………… all I can give is full marks to the turntable. It is a full size turntable, (which is rare even these days), a belt driven turntable for low rumble and the turntable itself has a high torque, which handles albums perfect, and the test for high torque is of course to see how much the belt slips. This one was perfect.Setting up was a cinch, plug in the USB plug, install the Audacity software, (by the way the turntable also has phono plugs to play your records on a normal hi fi system – great extra!)Once audacity is setup, just a few tweaks to the software itself, to change it from the default MONO recording, to STEREO recording, and then search for the lame mp3 dll encoder, which was straight forward.(NERO had the dll in its COMMON FILES folder).Creating the first album, was superb, I press the RECORD on audacity, it makes an entire WAVE file of the whole album, I then asked audacity to search for the track silence breakpoints, which it did perfecttly, (analyse : silence finder), then went into FILE : EXPORT MULTIPLE which made an mp3 of each of the tracks on the album at 192kbps (which is the ideal setting) – 128kbs is the default.The only bad points, and they are not that bad, the arm could do with a good old fashioned manual lift and lower device, and the arm does not eject at the end, so if you fall asleep during recording it could well cause stylus problems, but overall i have to give this 9.5 out of ten, and its truly very stylish indeed, and looks great just anywhere.By the way, any silence at the beginning and end of the album can easily be edited out using SELECT AREA : CUT.Another good idea is you can place the stylus on the disc, whilst not rotating, and then manually start the motor using one of the two start buttons on the left of the player. This uses the same system as good old fashioned disco-dj decks.
Excellent sound qualityI don’t have a home stereo any more, but still wanted a way to play my big vinyl collection – this turntable is great because you can connect it to your computer (in my case a Mac) and play the records through your computer’s speakers.You also have the option to 1. rip your vinyl onto your computer to play digitally and 2. connect the turntable to your old fashioned stereo – if you still have one!The sound is very good and the set up was simple – it took me about 30 mins to sort out my computer speakers before I could hear the sound but this is because I didn’t read the instructions rather than any hardware problem…On your computer you can listen to the records, and / or rip & convert them – using Audacity software, which is supplied. You need an additional file to download from the company’s website if you have an Intel-based Mac, but this is all explained and was easy to execute.Although I bought this turntable to play records through my computer speakers rather than convert them to play on my ipod, I did have a go at transferring an album out of interest.The instructions on this were very easy to follow. It transferred the music as a ‘WAV’ file which was then easy to convert into a compressed MP3 file – again, I had to download a bit of software to transfer to MP3 but this was all signposted in the instructions and easy to execute.As for the looks of the turntable, there are 2 choices – go for the more old fashioned version with the dust cover, or this more modern one without a dust cover. I ummed and ahh-d for a day or so before going for this one and I think I made the right choice. I think it looks quite stylish.All in all, a good turntable – and a great way to play your vinyl if, like me, you ditched your stereo to manage your music digitally, only to experience a twinge of nostalgia when you cleared out the loft and found your old vinyl!DELIVERY – POST OR COLLECT
