Can you use this converter just to 'listen' to my records on my own turntable thru my computer? Or does it only convert songs/tracks to files?

Yes you can. I can't get itunes to work so I can't rip the songs but I can still listen to them.

yes he Executive USB Portable Turntable easily takes your favorite vinyl and converts them to digital files. Simply plug in the USB cable, play your record and watch as the Executive creates digital files on your computer.

I'm sorry, I only use it to play records. I know it worked to begin with but haven't used that feature since I bought itl.

Sorry Bruce, I don't have a turntable but I can tell you they are connected to my computer and are great! And if the connection which is the smaller plug works on your turntable it should work....

I think the book says it will transfer records and tapes to cds.check your book that came with the recorder player. I haven't tried to do it so I am only going with what the book says

The turntable plugs into your computers USB and the sound would come out of your normal PC speakers. You can hook external speakers to the unit itself but don't need to.

Although I don't have a turntable, it does have phono (RCA) inputs for one. I'm sure you can google the manual online.

Yes you can run your turntable. BTW, be careful when you purchase this item. I read many reviews and they are for the most part correct. The sound is not that great and it has some distortion.

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!

Yes you can. Turn on the Easy Vinyl application but do not press record. This will allow you to listen without yet recording to transfer to your computer.

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.

I agree with the statement that MP3's are horrible. I've tried to convert. Just doesn't happen. What I have found is that music meant for CD, sounds better to me on CD. Music initially recorded on vinyl sounds better to me on vinyl. I kept my records. But I do have an extensive CD collection. I find Vinyl at charity shops and second hand shops for as little as $.25. When buying old records, remember to look for warping, scratches, dirty patches--which may cover hidden damage--, crayon drawings (who hasn't seen this?). In other words look them over carefully.

I you have no transfer plans then do not waste your $ on a useless USB port. Invest in an old school basic turntable that delivers fidelity with low noise and an affordable cartridge.

Pay no attention to those who have no knowledge of digitizing vinyl. This ADC/ phono pre amp will serve your needs. It supports 24/96 (where you would process your LPs if you wanted) or can output to 16/44.1 (CD quality). It will deliver exactly what you input into it. This w/ Thorens TT and Ortofon Red MM. I doubt if it supports MC cartridges.

If your turntable has rca hook ups then yes. You will just have to hook it up through one of your aux. Receiver works great for the price. Puts out great sound through our MTX speakers. I hope I helped you out.

Keep in mind that phono (turntables) inputs normally need to be amplified verses a cassette, CD, etc... I believe you would need to use a receiver that would allow a by-pass for an EQ. You maybe able to route this from your turntable, to EQ and then to a MAC/PC using sound software too.

I use mine just to transfer to MP3's so the quilty is dropped, and this on does work fine for that but.... If you really want quilty the AT-LP120-USB or Pro-Ject Debut Carbon is a better sounding for the low cost Here is a good artical on turntables http://www.crutchfield.com/S-n9AFgf2O75T/learn/learningcenter/home/audio/turntables.htmlGood lock
