Comments about Audio-Technica Audio-Technica® AT-PL50 Stereo Turntable:
I bought this because my old turntable's cartridge mount broke. This does the job and is easy to use. The buttons on the front are loose and feel incredibly cheap. It seems the least they could do is put some springs in them. Other than that it works well and is easy to use. I also notice that the sound isn't as full. Overall I am a bit disappointed but it is cheap and you get what you pay for...

Comments about Audio-Technica Audio-Technica® AT-PL50 Stereo Turntable:
I use it to play my old personal vinyl at home - push buttons to start, pause, stop - very convenient - easily replaceable stylus - doesn't seem very expensively built but it works and reproduces sounds on records great

Once I figured out that I need to plug it into a receiver and speakers, it worked great. It's a nice little turntable!!!!
Comments about Audio-Technica Audio-Technica® AT-PL50 Stereo Turntable:
As an owner of more than 1,000 "records",there is no way I could replace all of them with CDs. I needed a solid turntable to play them and this fits the bill. Easy to set up, sounds great, and great price! Would recommend to anyone!!

Comments about Audio-Technica Audio-Technica® AT-PL50 Stereo Turntable:
I bought this turntable a few years ago and loved it! The sound was great and it was easy to use! This year, I bought one for a friend and it had horrible quality sound! The stereo system was the same yet there were pops and crackles NOT related to the record and the sound was very muffled. Thinking it was just the specific unit I purchased, I bought another and found the same problem!
So of the three units I purchased, only one was functional and satisfactory. I am not sure what changed...

This was just what we needed to enjoy our old 33 records. Easy to use and attached easily and quickly to our other equipment.

Comments about Audio-Technica Audio-Technica® AT-PL50 Stereo Turntable:
Bought after reading reviews and record but didn't have software for recording like I thought, but bought software mentioned on my own on [...]. Tough to figure out software because burner didn't work on it, but did everything in the editor, mp3's and all and burned with Realplayer. Recorded with a line in jack too or radio. Turntable sounds great either on stereo or computer. Always wanted a full size turntable. Works great. Sorry it didn't come with the cakewalk PYRO audio creator software but [...] has o.k. prices.

i have spent a lot of time trying to figure this equipment out and failed miserably. first. i was deceived by the radioshack add-ons, they suggest a usb squid plug-in to accomodate extra plugs. THIS TURNTALBE DOES NOT HAVE A USB PLUG!!! it works ok as a turntable to play your records on a stereo. but is useless for turning your records into digital files.

Comments about Audio-Technica Audio-Technica® AT-PL50 Stereo Turntable:
The time most spent (and wasted), was in setting my computer controls to match the input/output of the product's software. I had to access the volume control set-up, and make some changes in there.
I would recommend this product to a friend, but I would warn them to be in for a bumpy ride.
But once everything is lined up right, the sound will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!

Comments about Audio-Technica Audio-Technica® AT-PL50 Stereo Turntable:
I purchased this turntable when it was offered with Pyro Cakewalk software. It set up easily and the software installed flawlessly on my XP computer. The sound is good through the computer and even better through a stereo system. I was able to capture two of my old LPs that I hadn't heard in years and create CD's from them in just couple hours. I have since transfered several other vinyl albums to CD without any problems. The only draw back I had was that there was no documentation for the software itself and what was mentioned in the owners manual was very sparse. The built in "help" is ok but tedious to find answers for specific questions. I would recommend this to anyone who's on a budget and looking for a replacement turntable or someone wanting to capture those old vinyl records for CD or portable player use.

I spent over 25 hours playing with connections, recording settings, audio cards, and I could not get any volume through my computer. The software appeared to be working but product did not produce any sound through computer with and without pre-amp.
