My error -- I failed to notice I was buying an LP.  I thought I was buying a CD.  Fortunately I have a USB turntable with software to turn an LP into a MP3 file so it wasn't a total disaster but I really did want a CD.  :-(

First I love this turntable but wanted to store my music on my hard drive converted to MP3. I installed the software for the turntable then installed Itunes. Couldn't make things work as I wanted so I uninstalled Itunes. I have an old edition of roxio cd creator,[it's 10 years old. 5th edition.]. I click on the desktop icon for the turntable, then click next. Then I open my Roxio, and a few clicks later I am recoding my music to the file I created, in MP3. If you don't want to spend the bucks for the latest Roxio you could probably get an older version like mine somewhere. Truthfully I'm happy as a lark with this turntable and my own setup. Hope this may help some people out there.

As a tool for getting your vinyl to CD (or iTunes or whatever), this is a great product.  Sure, the whole thing costs less than the B&O crowd will spend just on cartridge, but if you're like me and have a bunch of LPs sitting in the garage feeling neglected, this is just what you need to get the tunes back in your living room & vehicle.

As others have said, the software takes a little getting used to.  It would have been useful if the software's default startup behavior would have been optimized for use with LPs.  As it is you have to hunt around a bit to get the recordings to work.  Don't be surprised if on your first attempt:
* The sound on all your programs stops working
* Your first LP recording sounds even scratchier than the oldest LP you've ever played.

After a little poking around, you'll get most of it working. Like the others I haven't been able to get the sound to play through my computer while recording, but since I've got the unit hooked up to my receiver, that doesn't really matter.

Just remember recording LPs isn't like ripping CDs.  :) You actually have to play the album in real time in order to record it, just like the old days.

In reality this is a 2007 model radio  -  it has a DMPORT (digital media plug-in) the adapter for this port costs more than the unit itself and if for instance you want to hook up your MP3 player you have to have one.  Can't use a turntable to play records  -  what you can't do far outweights what you can!

I purchased this because I needed a cassette player with an output to my computer in order to capture the files of hundreds of spoken tapes. Although I had other cassette tape players, none had a USB out. I also liked the way the software that came with it sounded. However, I have found that I prefer using other sound-capture programs, specificly Adobe SoundBooth.. I DO love the USB out on the Tapelink. I only wish it had a reverse feature where when it reached the end of the tape, it would start playing again automatically. It seems to be decent quality and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to capture audio from cassette tapes.

Immensely satisfied with this gadget which connects easily to my turntable and tape player - no tuner required - and then to my PC albeit with a somewhat pricey USB cable. Best to have a set of earphones (not earbuds) to synchronize and edit recordings. Software upload is straightforward and with a few  tries recording and editing are intuitive.  The recorded files need a player, of course, but the files can be downloaded to mp3 format so I am able to burn a CD or transfer to my iPod.  I was concerned that my cassette tapes would have deteriorated but by and large the quality is unaffected by the passage of time.  A little crackle and pop from the vinyl, most of which is 40 years old is just fine.

I'm not much for commenting or giving my opinion like this. I purchased this item based partially on the other reviews here. I use this to record sermons and special singing in my local church and to catch my own thoughts with. Now it won't do studio quality, and it can't filter out hard-wall reverb, but I can download it to my PC. take the .wav files it makes and run them through a software editing program and some filters and export them as MP3 files to share on website. Fast, convienient and neat little package.  Additional Comment added 05/17/09 - This products software will NOT work with VISTA, I have tried several times and Vista will not recognize or allow transfer from unit. Works fine on my XP Laptop.

Great "no fuss" turntable.  Hook it up and listen.  If you are the one who likes to mess around with tone arms and fiddle with settings then this turntable is not for you.  If you just want a turntable that works and sounds great then this is the one.  USB is a bit fiddly though.  It may be my setup but if I keep it hooked up to my computer I get some crazy background noise.  I only hook up the USB if I need it.  Otherwise its exactly what I was looking for!

While the software seems to work correctly, the drivers for the RCA to USB device don't. My computer is unable to detect that both the audio and video channel are all connected, and I've yet been unable to find other drivers or help online.

Folks,

I bought this unit to convert some of my 300+ vinyl albums to computer files

The turntable works fine.....HOWEVER, AT should have packaged a better software conversion program with the product.

The Audacity product requires at least 2 windows open to sort out how to input the turntable data to your computer. The software is a poster child for NOT INTUITIVE  (!!)

I am currently shopping for better software. No conclusions yet, but it appears that I can buy a better conversion program for about $40.

AT could have, and should have, selected a better conversion program. (If they bumped up the price by $20, both they and the software vendor could have made money.)

Shop your software options prior to buying this product.

The UFO202 does what it is suppose to do; transfer my old vinyl lp's to digital.  Now, getting the music to sound great you will need some software that is included.  Just have plenty of time, it is a long process.

I needed to convert some old garage band (actual garage band not apple garage band) tapes to MP3 so as to not lose them forever. I just unpacked it, plugged it in, installed Audicity (which it comes with) and hit record and was on my way. Easy as pie. Almost ... too easy? ;)

Nah, if you have tapes you want to preserve, this is the route to go. Good luck. :)

I bought this product because it plays mp3 songs, it has FM radio, and can be used as digital voice recorder.

Pros:

- it is possible to record audio of the playing FM station

- easy to move/select directories of songs

Cons:

- When plugged into my computer (windows XP), it does not get recognized as an external USB drive. So, it is absolutely necessary to use the software that comes with the mp3 player

- One of the ends of the USB cable does not seem to be standard connection. In case of misplacing it, there could be issues on finding a replacement cable
