USB Vinyl-To-MP3 Record Player Review
This is a great little turntable by Lauson! My last USB compatible turntable was about 3 times the price and didn’t do everything this Lauson turntable does.
I work all day with my headphones in and rarely are in cell phone service so I’m not able to use internet radio apps. Being able to get music saved on my phone is important. Now with the Lauson turntable I’m able to save my favorite records on my phone for those long days at work!
Lauson has made it easy to convert your vinyl records to MP3. I’m pretty much a caveman with a computer and even I was able to convert and save my favorite records with just a few clicks! The program installs extremely easily and the user interface, while looking confusing, is actually quite easy to use.
So being able to convert your records to MP3 is cool, but the Lauson has a couple more tricks up the sleeve. This can be used as a complete stand alone unit with its built in speakers, front mounted headphone jack or line output RCAS on the back. The stereo speakers built in are not the greatest but at mild listening levels in the background it is a nice bonus. The line level outputs are pre-amped so there is no need for a phono pre-amp! That is a big benefit to me since this will be used primarily in my bedroom, not where most of my audio equipment is.
My only real gripe with the unit is there is no eject lever to lift the needle from the record and I’m not real good at plucking the needle off the record or dropping it at a specific track.
All in all I still recommend this unit highly, it should do just about everything you need it to!

No kidding. Technology is amazing to me. Play a record then download it to your phone…… wow! (Okay that made me sound ancient didn’t it!?)

Back in the 70’s & 80’s I had a record player so old that I had to balance a penny on the ‘arm’ when it played a record to keep it from skipping, lol. This looks much better!

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about the penny on the arm. I use to have to do that too!

This looks like a great unit. It’s compact and I like it’s features. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it.

Wow this brings so many memories to me of all the turntable and vinyl years….Too bad this wasn’t around years ago when I got rid of all my records.. some recordings that I have never been able to find on cd or the internet for download…
