Does anyone else have issues with dragging? My 33 1/3 records seem to play too slowly.

I've purchased two of them, and the timing seems perfect. I would make sure that you're on the right setting, and if you are, I'd look into getting it fixed.

My 33 1/3 plays OK...no dragging, but it is a "cheaply" made product, but for the money it works fine...I will invest in a much better one down the road...Books-A-Million has a great selection and they are nicely made...

You cant record a tape slowed down, but it does slow playback enough for what you need, imo. It's also good for learning guitar licks, but the pitch will also drop, of course.

Had the same problem then I noticed if you don't push the MODE button, it works fine. Also don't push the MODE button if you want it to play all tracks and then stop.

sorry I can't help I returned mine. I wanted a record player that took several records and as u know this did not.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though. I hope that works.

When the record finishes playing the turntable stops. You have to lift it and move it to the side.

No. No high end turntables will do this and even cheap ones should not be able to! It's not a feature you want. Years ago some cheaper models had this feature, useful for playing a stack of 45 RPM, however, with each disk that drops the height of the tracking surface (the top of the top record) increases. As a result, the angle of tone arm has to increase and the stylus tracks in the groove at an increasingly tilted angle. This results in poor tracking, stylus wear and increased wear on the record. Not SUCH a big problem with a cheap ceramic cartridge and stylus, but with a magnetic cartridge and vinyl you actually value....?? If you ever have a player with this feature, don't use it.

For me, the record stops in the dead zone, but the needle does not lift. So the needle just sits on the record until removed (but w/o record spinning).

Sometimes slow hard drive access times can cause stuttering in recording or playback. If increasing the buffer or latency settings in the sound device preferences (File Menu &gt; Preferences &gt; Sound Device) doesn't help, and you have Mixcraft 6 or higher, try this: 1) In Mixcraft, click on the File menu and select Preferences. 2) Choose the Recording preferences. 3) Try switching the Recording File Type setting from "Uncompressed Wave File" to "Compressed Ogg Vorbis File." 4) Now record something and see if the problem is gone. Good Luck!

yes that's what I use. I'll be honest it took me almost a month to figure out. but once I did I love the software. Don't expect it to cut the tracks in the right spot. I always erase their tracks and put them back in the right spot. I do that by finding track listings on wiki, iTunes, amazon, or a site called discogs and write down the track times. It takes a little work. but I haven't found a software yet that cuts the tracks right automatically granted Ive only tried a few. So if you go for it be patient. I don't ever tinker with any of the effects so not sure how good they are. Like echo and crap like that. I just go for a good clean transfer. It does work good for that. In my opion. I did however buy an old turntable for just listening. One with pitch control and the adjustable counterweight and all that kind of fancy stuff. How bout that for an answer. Peace. Hit me up if you got mo questions. I don't mind talkin about records and record players.

My experience was that it kept re-creating my entire library every time I tried to single out a song to go into my playlist. One of the many reasons I sent it back. Good luck if if's working for you.

New vinyl tends to skip. Whereas the the vintage does not. Don't ask me why. BUT! Just put a dime, yes the coin, on top of the needle casing and they play smooth smooth. Hope this helps!

Try to remove and reseat your pick up stylus. The vocal content of a record is likely in mono, while the music is stereo. If the stylus isn't seated correctly it might not respond properly to the vocal content. Of course, I assume you properly removed the stylus guard which the unit ships with installed. I can't imagine you would get any pickup period if you left it in place. I was very disappointed in the unit I bought. The audio quality is such that you won't get any "thumping" bass from the unit.

Join the crowd. Ours are skipping also. It will not automatically roll over to the next CD also. Should send it back.

Yes, Jarred I have had the same problem. I'm listening to a song and detecting minor fluctuations in the pitch of the music. Strange because the strobe indicates that the platter is rotating at a consistent speed, but there is no denying the fluctuations. Maybe the record is sliding around a bit and not making firm contact with the turntable? Not sure. Anyway it's getting annoying and I'm starting to think we got a lemon. Will be persuing this with Pyle.

I bought this particular DVD several months ago and am more than satisfied. As a matter of fact, I placed a new order of the same just days ago. However, they are recommended in the Owner's Manual of my recorder. You may be better helped by simply calling the company of your recording unit to discuss your problem. Good luck, Lynne.

I'm having this issue as well, with near mint, clean vinyl, and I noticed that it's only in the right channel as well. It starts to become noticeable around the third song of an LP so it seems to be in the same place as yours. On 45s it's constant because they're further in. I was thinking it might have something to do with the anti-skate but I can't be sure. I'm a bit of a noob at this, never having a really NICE turntable when I was younger, so this adjustment stuff is a bit new to me.It does sound gorgeous before it starts happening though. :DI wonder if perhaps anyone has other suggestions?
