It has few controls and is very basic. There is no on/off switch. Moving the arm across to the record switches it on. There is no cueing control. The unit comes with a spare stylus and a USB lead. It has phono sockets for connection to a hi fi but phono leads are not included. Audacity sound editing software is provided on a CD. Most of the brief manual is about Audacity. The manual is not very clear but reading it while reviewing the menu options on screen it is possible to get the hang of the basics reasonably quickly. Important to note is the Properties menu option to set up a few parameters such as stereo input. Audacity uses its own editable file format. Audacity files can be exported into a WAV or MP3 file. For copyright reasons the utility to convert an Audacity file into MP3 does not come in the box but is available for free download. If you want to burn an audio CD you will need software to convert the WAV file into CD audio format. This, again is not part of the kit supplied, so you may need to pay out a little more money to buy additional software for this if you do not have it already. Nero seems to be a reliable package for this task. In summary, a very simple piece of hardware which seems to work well, but be prepared for a bit of a learning curve with the software. You can see demos on "latest video" section. www.forumvadisi.com Regards Michael Haley The turntable is simple to use. It has few controls and is very basic. There is no on/off switch.

Audacity exports as .WAV files Drag the .wav file into 'Switch' and simply choose which audio format you want it to be...It does every format you can imagine...quite simple really. The question is, does the turntable work, is the quality good once it gets to Audacity etc etc...????? ‘Audacity’ is the free software which anyone can download from their website…so is ‘LAME’…and so is ‘Switch’…

My initial verdict is CRAP but I'll let you know further if they deign to contact me by telephone this morning. Bill Pitt PS The instruction book is also useless.

So this just records and doesn't play, right? The ones I’ve seen before (and this is going back some years) looked like a car steering wheel lock.
