Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are considering this, DO NOT buy unless you are very computer literate and technology saavy. I purchased this on impulse at an electronics store (on sale for about $60, full price about $80). I'm not sure it is worth the aggravation of the conversion process. First of all, the manual that comes with it is a JOKE! The online software guide for the audio conversion software, Audacity, wasn't helpful either. (The step by step instructions don't match with what I'm seeing on screen in the actual software.)By trial and error i learned that to create individual tracks from an album you have to either stop both the recording software and the turntable after each song (difficult since I haven't figured out how to listen to the songs via the computer speakers while recording) or record the whole side of the old vinyl album and cut and paste each song as a new file. Then you have to export as a WAV file, since the MP3 converter doesn't come with the program on the install CD, then drag the file into iTunes and further convert it to an AAC format. There is no tech support number, email or even physical address listed in the manual nor can I find a website for Vibe. I don't have that many albums I want to convert, but the sheer number of steps and time makes me really consider taking it back and just buying downloads from Amazon for the songs I want. It is faster and easier. The only drawback to that is many of the old albums my parents own and I grew up listening to aren't available in digital format. I looked at other USB turntables on Amazon that purport the same functionality and those I looked at all come with the same Audacity audio software.
