The turntable is easy to connect to the pc and operate. The software that came with it can be somewhat confusing but if you use it for what it is meant for you will not have any problems.
I went out & bought external speakers. I have internal speakers. A joke. This is a toy. No matter what I tried, I could never hear the record play nor could I hear any recording played back. Same difference.
Easy to use, not very expensive and well made. Also when saving save in multible tracks. Connected the RCA jacks to my line in on the computer for sound and the USB for downloading. Highly recommend placing the track markers before saving otherwise you only get two tracks one for side 1 and one for side 2. As for the turntable, well made and easy to use all buttons are very accesible. This is inportant when copying an album for sarting and stopping. Loaded the Pyro software and I was done. I have already copyed and burned 4 albums.
I will tell you this I perfer burning through Nero verus Pyro. Bottom line if your looking to get a usb turntable to convert your albums this is the one to get. I recieved this turntable on Friday and within one hour I was up and running. The sound quailty is excellent and the software is easy to use. With Nero you can arrange the tracks in the order you want them but I have burned with Pyro and it worked fine.
The unit also serves well as a standalone turntable when not recording. This is a tremendous value for the dollar. I use Audacity to record but Popfix to remove noise. Just plug in the unit to power, to your PC, and you're good to go. I had this old turntable and amplifier which were doing the trick but I had to sync all this stuff. I had been trying to capture many of my favorite old LPs in digital format. This product has it all in one unit and does everything it claims in its specs and more (in my opinion). I couldn't get the hang of noise removal using Audacity.
While each half-hour process is taking place, however, there's time to do other things providing one sets a timer to be ready to turn the record over, etc., etc. The process, however, is time-consuming since one has to be ready, when the first side of a recording ends, to pause the process, turn the record over to the second side, and then resume recording. This is an excellent product from Audio Technica--easy to hook up and easy to use. The CDs I am turning out from old LPs sound as good as, and perhaps better than, the originals. Since the average LP may last an hour that means I'll devote approximately 100 hours to converting 100 LPs to CDs.
