Purchased this through ACS Media on Amazon.co.uk Marketplace and item arrived swiftly and in perfect condition.
I'm not that technically competent so a brief teething trouble (I had to disconnect my webcam to allow the turntable to be heard) was swiftly resolved with a quick call to the Ion tech helpdesk (although they're only open during office hours) who were excellent.
The software takes less than 30 seconds to install and is extremely simple to use. I've not had the need to try the advanced software as yet, but played back through iTunes it sounds great to me.
There are also leads to attach the turntable to your stereo so can use as a separate also for playing old vinyl records via an existing sound ... Read More:

I am very pleased with this digital recorder, which I am using for recording one to one interviews for my Masters degree dissertation. I have not needed an additional microphone and have found the recordings to be very good quality, even when recorded outside with building works going on in the background.
It is Mac compatible - I have used this feature to 'back-up' the recordings onto my Mac for peace of mind. I have not tried playing them back through my laptop but understand that Macs will need extra WMA software to do this.
A really small, neat easy to use, good quality product at a good price.

Nice pice of kit although the buttons and screens are a bit small, but the qulity of sound is out of ths universe.
There is one major draw back though, and that is that the supplied software dose not work with vista and you have to go online to get the correct software for this operating system.
Apart from that it is easy to set up with P.C. and dose exactly what it says on the box.
My reccomendation is that if you are looking for a portable music player then consider this device.
I just wish to say thank you for the excellent service that I have recently received from amazon. Ordered one day, dispatched the next, and received the morning of the following day. If you are thinking of buying from amazon, buy with confidence.

The turntable really does what it says on the tin - it turns your vinyl into MP3 files for import onto an iPod, but boy do you have to go through some hoops to get there. If you have accumulated vinyl from your days at university in the 60's and 70's, then forget getting track names from gracenote. This utility is patchy at the best, and if you have classic music albums, eg beethovens Violin concerto, then forget the various parts to whole piece ie the Allegro, andante con molto, gracenote gets it as the title of the first piece, and as classical recordings tend not to have deliniated tracks, but fade into each other, then one has to go into iTunes and insert the names manually.
Or if you have a pop album but don't want all the tracks, you have to stop the ... Read More:

Well, having read the good and poor reviews about this product, I have to say, all I can give is full marks to the turntable. It is a full size turntable, (which is rare even these days), a belt driven turntable for low rumble and the turntable itself has a high torque, which handles albums perfect, and the test for high torque is of course to see how much the belt slips. This one was perfect.
Setting up was a cinch, plug in the USB plug, install the Audacity software, (by the way the turntable also has phono plugs to play your records on a normal hi fi system - great extra!)
Once audacity is setup, just a few tweaks to the software itself, to change it from the default MONO recording, to STEREO recording, and then search for the lame mp3 dll encoder, ... Read More:
