Just wanted to know if it works on vinyl?

Have only tried on real wood floors, wouldn't think it would work on vinyl?

I don't know. I don't have any vinyl. I used it on my tile floors for the first time the other day and they look amazing!

The only way I have used this turntable has been to input from vinyl directly into iTunes on my computer (a MAC running 10.6.8) via USB - sometimes via a free download called 'EZ Vinyl Converter' and sometimes, when I wanted to do some tweeking, via Audicity (also a free download). I have been very satisfied with the turntable for that purpose. But I'm afraid I haven't tried playing directly from the turntable into an audio system. Sorry if this is no help for your situation.

It wouldn't work on anything canvas or vinyl. It is more like seam putty for metal of a camper, with a thin plastic film on one side of the putty.

Hi. I don't think so. Colored Vinyl is still just Vinyl. Picture Discs are also Vinyl Covered cardboard. Whenever you clean Picture Discs, anyway, you have to be sure they aren't cracked, and that the Discs are completely sealed around the outer edge/rim. Otherwise the printed Picture inside can get wet. Hope this helps.

As most agree, nothing beats the sound of vinyl in good condition. You can just hear things that a CD might miss during the digitizing process. I even enjoy the crackles and pops of the record. The big kicker for me though is when you listen to a record, you listen to it. It becomes an intimate relationship from grabbing the vinyl, opening the sleeve, dusting it off and setting down that record. You can't just can't play records for hours on end w/out actual contact. It doesn't do the shuffle, repeat, forever play like cd's. It forces you to pay attention to the music. Doesn't just become background noise. Usually while I'm listening, I'm examing the cover art and sleeve notes. Just a pure love affair.

No, it's not--you can digitize your vinyl for use on your devices (basically converting the music on your records into mp3s), or just play your vinyl on old school with the audio coming through the built-in speakers. What would make it better is if it had Blue Tooth (so it could be played through external wireless speakers). But being able to capture songs from vinyl and turn them into mp3s for your devices is still pretty cool--that and the built-in speakers were all I was looking for. Hopefully this helps!

I would not use it for vinyl records. It can be used for CDs, and DVDs storage.

I found that if one doesn't have a receiver with phono inputs, a preamp is needed for ideal sound. I have not, however, converted vinyl to CDs.

amazon says no, they say you need a special little goober that they sell for $18. You might want to research this farther, but I just put transfer vinyl to computer into my search engine and the first page included a link to amazon with many gizmos for sale to do what you want, the cheapest I saw was for 18. good luck. harry

It does on my player. I believe it does clean it up a little, the same way recording from vhs to dvd gives a cleaner picture. But only new or pristine vinyl will give a perfect recording.

I only play old vinyl records on mine. It works beautifully with a few added modern hook ups being the main difference between old player and new one.

This happened to me once before but it wasn't a problem with the tone arm. I tried to play different records to isolate the problem and it turned out that my vinyl record was defective. There was no visible scratch on the LP so I didn't initially think there was an issue on the music. You may want to check your vinyl or look under the needle to see if some lint has accumulated there.

For me vinyl was never gone. I have a lot of CDs, but I also have a lot of vinlys, which I continue to listen to. Unfortunately my turntable has broken, so I need to buy a new one to replace it.

Comes ready to play vinyl - and it sounds great through my system. The stylus is fine!

You can, but as far as I can tell they'll only play regular vinyl, not digital control records.
