The ION TTUSB is the world’s first USB turntable allowing you to convert your old vinyl collection directly to CD or MP3 with the included recording software. (no special drivers needed).

ION has created a revolutionary USB turntable allowing you to convert your old vinyl collection directly to CD or MP3 with included recording software. The ION TTUSB also features a switchable phono/line level output for connecting to any home stereo with an AUX input.

EZ Vinyl Converter by MixMeister is included free with the ION TTUSB and provides the easiest way to convert your records to your computer's digital music library. Simply plug in your ION TTUSB turntable, click to mark when tracks end, and you're done! EZ Vinyl Converter automatically retrieves track names and other information using Gracenote technology and imports the music directly to your iTunes library. In just a few mouse clicks, you'll be up and running with digital versions of your records.

Another great program included with the turntable is Audacity (PC and Mac) which is intended for the advanced user. This application allows for advanced audio editing and processing, such as normalization, noise removal, 78 RPM speed conversion, and automatic track separation.

Overall:

QUALITY:
I've had it since Christmas, about a month and have already recorded about 20 albums and burned them to CD's. It's worked great.

FEATURES:
The ability to record at 45rpm and covert to 33 1/2 is a great time saver. You can remove the noise of the stylus on the vinyl. You can also remove the blips you get from scrathes on the album, but that is very time consuming. Still, you can do almost anything you want with the turntable and software as long as you have the time to devote.

EASE OF USE:
I find it very easy to use. The software is easy to use to. I did find one bug in the software. It will not type a lower case z when you name tracks or artists within the software. So Joan Baez becomes Joan BaeZ. You can always correct it in the file properties though. I figure the software maker did it intentionally to get you to buy the full blown fersion of the software.

VALUE:
I didn't know how much my wife paid for it b

Subject:Turntable Great, Software not so good
Quality: I purchased a "dent and scratch" model and received a unit in perfect condition. It was missing the accessories (software, manual, 45 rpm spindle, usb cable), but when I called AMS, they promptly shipped the missing items except for the 45 rpm spindle.
Features: This unit is well designed on the whole. I would place the level control on top of the unit so it is accessable with an LP on the turntable. This unit has a much larger footprint than it needs to have and really could use a dust cover (I knew about the lack of a dust cover when I ordered).
Ease of Use: The turntable itself is easy to use and set up and the quickstart manual provides most of the info necessary to get up and running very quickly. The processing software is not wonderful and requires a lot of adjustment to be effective. ION should consider bundling better software with this unit if it is available.
Sound: Sound is quite good and my LP rips are pretty impressive.
Overall: This is a good product. Once you get past how large it is and the fact that it is constructed of plastic, (very tough, substantial construction, though) it is well worth the money you will pay for it. My only complaint is with the software programs. Audacity seems to be very buggy and requires a lot of tweaking to sense track separation properly. The other program requires that you separate tracks manually, while you listen to the LP as it is being ripped, which is very tedious. You also cannot process clicks and sound card noise with this program as you can with Audacity. Software that combines the best features of both programs would be welcome. PLease be aware that the turntable does not perform the conversion from analog to digital sound- it just provides the connection to your PC, which performs the actual transfomation to Wave or MP3 files.
Value: I am very happy with my purchase. AMS quickly shipped me the accessory package that was missing (the programs can also be downloaded from the ION website). With the exception of the 45 rpm spindle still being missing, this unit is a bargain, especially at "scratch and dent" prices. I would recommend this turntable to anyone who is thinking about digitizing their LP collection.
"Great website and service. I especially like the Easy Payments. Thanks for a great service."
