Customer Reviews

Audio Technica AT-LP2DUSB LP-to-Digital Recording System with USB Works Great
I received the LP to Digital Recording System around 4:00 p.m. and by 5:00p.m. was transferring my old vinyl songs to CD's. Software loaded very easy and produced a fine quality CD. I would reccomend this product to anyone.

Good Player, but the USB and software and ripping isn't very good
The player is good, simple and easy. But when it comes to ripping the vinyl onto the computer, it's not as good as I'd hoped. The ripped files' sound fluctuates and is really harsh. If your goal is to rip a record collection to MP3, I'd go with a higher end model. If you just want to play around with the MP3s or have a small budget, this is a great option. I'm happy with it.

Excellent product ready to use at high quality audio
As soon as it arrived we (my wife and I) assembled the turntable in less than 5 minutes (high quality and easy to follow graphical instructions). After reading the "Sofware Guide" and having configured the sound card accordingly, we started recording some old LP that we still have from the times when we were singles (I'm 49 now... just imagine the age of the records). What a joy and blast to hear them again.
We first tried the "pyro Audio Creator LE" and after a few moments we were able to digitalize an entire LP (both sides); however, when we decided to save the music in MP3 format we were warned the the MP3 encoder was a trial for 30 days!!! Then we remembered the second CD that comes with the product, it contains the open source software "Audacity" for audio editing, which is very good, and soon we were digitalizing the second LP from both sides; but, when we were to save our work as MP3 file we dicovered that "Audacity" doesn't come with an MP3 encoder and you have to provide it (Audacity requires the Lame encoder that you can compile from free source files or search the internet to find a compiled module; in our case I compiled the 3.98.2 version and solved my problem). However, both software packages come with good editing tools and simple filters to reduce noise and minor scratches in your records. Also, you can save your LP records to formats like WMA (v9.x and 10.x) and WAV using "Audio Creator LE", or save to WAV or OGG using Audacity. The only minor drawback is that the software lacks the real MP3 capability (to me a trial is worse than not having it, it's like marriage by gun).

Summarizing:
- The turntable is a jewel and works instantly
- For $100 (S/H included) in hardware and software, to do home projects,
to digitalize your LP records, this purchase has excedeed our
expectations and the quality of the results had greatly impressed both
of us to the good side.
- We recommend this product for all of you wanting to preserve your
memories.
