Hello, yes you can use it like the old phonograph, I have used mine a lot since receiving it and have only used it to play records and it does that well.
934331
yes is ok to listen ,but all the parts in it are plastic and it will slow down in the middle of the track if you put a thicker vinyl record on, is ok with 45's

It's a device very good, I enjoy a lot, and all my music in acetate disk, had changed on MP3
934333
Yes you can. It has an AM/FM Radio. I haven't listened to the radio, but if it works as well as the player, it should be fine for casual listening
934334
yes indeed! there is a sliding switch with a few options, you just switch it to the "phono" setting, put the record on, and lay the needle down.

Yeah, the only thing I don't think it'll do is allow you to stack records like the old players would. Other than that, it's perfect to listen to music "the way it was intended."

Do you guys own it? is it worth to get this player? I have not seen any actual reviews from people about this player yet.

The usb is extremely limited playing only what is in the root directory and giving no more information than track and time. I set up a play list on my computer of all the songs I want played, e.g. for Christmas, copy to the thumb drive, stick it into this player and go to usb. It is better to use the ipod port to get all the info, etc.

No. You cannot play anything through it. You can only stream the services that come on it. They do occasionally update the software with new services. Recently Spotify was added.

I mean you could use it as a general 'music player' because its bluetooth, we have one on the other side of the store and just pull the cell phone out, sync up, play a song through it. That's an advantage.

Unfortunately, this is my biggest gripe about all MP3 players - PROGRAMABILITY! The only way you're going to be able to play the way you want is to build playlists on your computer and then select random play. Or you can use the bookmark feature directly on the Gigabeat and have it randomly play. There is no way to play just an artist or genre folder randomly.

If you have the know how you can download anything and put it on a flash and use that. I downloaded and put stuff on my mp3 and bought a cable to connect the mp3 to this unit to play music. Cable was like $5. Unit has an input place for that.

Yes to both questions. However, the screen is not too good & its ability to make playlists is horrible. Sound on flac & hi-rez flac is excellent, but if you want to play mostly mp3s, you're better off with an mp3 player with a better interface I wish I had waited for a better player like the upcoming PONO this Fall.

I don't really believe it can. I think this is just a basic player for playing one album at a time.

You can download mp3 or other music files like .flac to it. it is not a streaming device, and does not have an internet connection to use a service.

I use it in the house for my cell phone. It's an Android, so I presume if I had music loaded , it would play.

I would think so. It is a bare bones player (no bells and whistles). Your old player probably has more ways to control the sound ( concert hall, jazz club, etc.) It has a remote, but no volume on the remote. I have had excellent results, trouble free. I've had it for a couple of years.

I have one of these as well. I never installed anything to use it. I just plug in a laptop and play spotify with it. We also just plug in our iPods, and use it. I hope this helps.

You certainly can, that is how I almost always use the player. I have a short flash drive that I populated with music from my computer that I plug into the system and it plays it with no problem.

Protip: No player (as far as I am aware of) requires proprietary software.Proof? I have an iPod nano sitting on my bed, now, that has music loaded onto it, none of which was loaded using iTunes. I used MediaMonkey. If your proprietary software forces you to buy new versions of songs you already have, then scrap the software, because chances are, it's not actually proprietary.
