 Husband Bday Gift October 11, 2008
Gave this to my techno hubbie for his b'day and he was absolutely thrilled. Started burning old vinyl right away and now shops fleas markets for old lps. Says it's ultra easy to set up and use. He loves it.
 Audio Technica AT-LP2DUSB LP-to-Digital Recording System with USB Works Great October 3, 2008
I received the LP to Digital Recording System around 4:00 p.m. and by 5:00p.m. was transferring my old vinyl songs to CD's. Software loaded very easy and produced a fine quality CD. I would reccomend this product to anyone.
Good Player, but the USB and software and ripping isn't very good September 30, 2008
The player is good, simple and easy. But when it comes to ripping the vinyl onto the computer, it's not as good as I'd hoped. The ripped files' sound fluctuates and is really harsh. If your goal is to rip a record collection to MP3, I'd go with a higher end model. If you just want to play around with the MP3s or have a small budget, this is a great option. I'm happy with it.
Excellent product ready to use at high quality audio September 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As soon as it arrived we (my wife and I) assembled the turntable in less than 5 minutes (high quality and easy to follow graphical instructions). After reading the "Sofware Guide" and having configured the sound card accordingly, we started recording some old LP that we still have from the times when we were singles (I'm 49 now... just imagine the age of the records). What a joy and blast to hear them again.
We first tried the "pyro Audio Creator LE" and after a few moments we were able to digitalize an entire LP (both sides); however, when we decided to save the music in MP3 format we were warned the the MP3 encoder was a trial for 30 days!!! Then we remembered the second CD that comes with the product, it contains the open source software "Audacity" for audio editing, which is very good, and soon we were digitalizing the second LP from both sides; but, when we were to save our work as MP3 file we dicovered that "Audacity" doesn't come with an MP3 encoder and you have to provide it (Audacity requires the Lame encoder that you can compile from free source files or search the internet to find a compiled module; in our case I compiled the 3.98.2 version and solved my problem). However, both software packages come with good editing tools and simple filters to reduce noise and minor scratches in your records. Also, you can save your LP records to formats like WMA (v9.x and 10.x) and WAV using "Audio Creator LE", or save to WAV or OGG using Audacity. The only minor drawback is that the software lacks the real MP3 capability (to me a trial is worse than not having it, it's like marriage by gun).
Summarizing:
- The turntable is a jewel and works instantly
- For $100 (S/H included) in hardware and software, to do home projects,
to digitalize your LP records, this purchase has excedeed our
expectations and the quality of the results had greatly impressed both
of us to the good side.
- We recommend this product for all of you wanting to preserve your
memories.
Digitizing the old LPs September 17, 2008
I purchased this turntable to be able to digitize my old LP record collection. My old turntable failed. It is easy to use and setup and comes with acceptable software. Cartridge is non-removable and non-replacable, only the stylus (needle) is replaceable. No tracking weight adjustment so some older records skip if there is a LP pressing defect or it is scratched.
It is not a replacement turntable for high quality audiophile use or everyday listening. It is adequate quality to digitzie the old LP records. Construction is mainly plastic. Vibration isolation is poor.
The Pyro Audio creater software is the lite version so it lacks some features. Noise reduction is one of the important features missing. You have to use another software package for noise reduction.
To burn/transfer the WAV files to a CD it does not record the track names to the burned CD, only a genric track number. This makes it difficult to easily import into iTunes. I found a work around by using Microsoft Media Player to burn the WAV files to CD which maintains the file names. Then when importing into iTunes it recognizes the album and imports the titles and album art automatically. A tip in naming the files in Pyro, use a two digit number (i.e. 01, 02, 03) in front of the file names from the album track in the correct order. That way it is easy to sort in Windows Media player and get the files in the correct order for play back after burning and also importing/recognition to iTunes.
Pyro software has an issue in listening while recording on my computer (Win XP Pro) as it does not always work during the complete recording of an album side.
