 Just what I wanted! July 16, 2008
Product works just as described. Software is easy to use--I'm a novice, so it can do more than I need it to do. Sony brand name is trusted. Seems more rugged than the competition.
Once you figure out the software, you'll love it July 12, 2008
As a tool for getting your vinyl to CD (or iTunes or whatever), this is a great product. Sure, the whole thing costs less than the B&O crowd will spend just on cartridge, but if you're like me and have a bunch of LPs sitting in the garage feeling neglected, this is just what you need to get the tunes back in your living room & vehicle.
As others have said, the software takes a little getting used to. It would have been useful if the software's default startup behavior would have been optimized for use with LPs. As it is you have to hunt around a bit to get the recordings to work. Don't be surprised if on your first attempt:
* The sound on all your programs stops working
* Your first LP recording sounds even scratchier than the oldest LP you've ever played.
After a little poking around, you'll get most of it working. Like the others I haven't been able to get the sound to play through my computer while recording, but since I've got the unit hooked up to my receiver, that doesn't really matter.
Just remember recording LPs isn't like ripping CDs. :) You actually have to play the album in real time in order to record it, just like the old days.
Good for the price, achieves its purpose, but... July 7, 2008
On the whole I am satisfied, but I think there could be some improvements, like perhaps Sony could provide a hard copy instruction booklet on how to use the software, for those who don't like or who are not used to reading online/onscreen help. Also, the webpage showing the product should include vital accessories you can buy together with the set, in particular, the replacement stylus meant for this model.
That said, it arrived at my place in perfect condition - from the USA all the way to Singapore.
 USB made Easy July 5, 2008
This turntable is very inexpensive, but it works very good. The duel hookup (L/R RCA jacks + USB)is nice and the included software is top-shelf. This is a great way to add vinyl music to your mp3 collection.
Once you get past a quirk or 2, good stuff July 1, 2008

Everything plugged in fine, but right off the bat, I couldn't get any sound to come out of my computer speakers. I kept fiddling Options>Preferences>Audio within Sound Forge Audio Studio (which comes with the turntable), changing settings, then putting them back, & somewhere along the line, there was sound & there was ripping off my old vinyl & there was the easiest sound-file editing I've seen. I've quite happy with everything now ... though Sound Forge Audio Studio doesn't always detect the gaps between tracks so it crams multiple songs into 1 file, where the easy editing really helps.
