DIGITNOW Bluetooth Record Player with Stereo Speakers, Turntable for Vinyl to MP3 with Cassette Play, AM/FM Radio, Remote Control, USB/SD Encoding, 3.5mm Music Output Jack(Black)

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by this product! We purchased this to put in our son's room, as we wanted to share the records and cassette tapes we used to listen to as kids with him. My expectation was that the sound quality would be mediocre at best. However, it sounds great! There is a very noticeable lack of base tones, but for us, this is not an issue as the player will mostly voice kid material. Records and cassettes play great; no scratching or catching. The only thing that we found a little frustrating is every once in a while, you'll hear a slight hum. This is because the speaker is so close to all the other electronic mechanisms in the product that feedback is inevitable. It really is impressive how much they've included in such a reasonably-sized item. We are very please with this purchase, and have considered buying another as a gift for a family member. Highly recommended!

I took a chance on buying this product. I needed something that would create .mp3 from cassette tape. I have an apparently very rare set of cassettes that I love and have been wondering when they would become unusable for some reason and then lost forever. The goal for the conversion was completely self contained (needing no additional computer). This unit has both thumb drive and SD slot. Mu wife also has records (vinyl) of her mother working on air as DJ many years ago. These too are fragile and subject to loss. This is why I bought the this unit (it does cassette tapes and vinyl records). The unit is not fancy. There is no auto reverse. To minimize white space on the .mp3 file it's best to be nearby so you can eject and reverse the tape quickly. The recording seems to continue (as dead air) until the you actual press 'STOP'. This is crude but simple. I like simple. My 6 tapes copied perfectly. I plan to edit the raw recording with Audacity. The sound from the built in speaker is probably not hi-fi but is VERY CLEAR and with volume control can be too LOUD or any level you want. We have not recorded vinyl to mp3 yet. I plan to run the speaker volume on the low side to prevent disturbance of the tone arm. I did have one alarming experience. I didn't think, initially, to practice with a non sacred tape. I made an .mp3 from the first of my 6 special cassettes. This went fine but I was uncertain what started and stopped the .mp3 record etc. This resulted in a somewhat fragmented first try. It thne occurred to me I should dry run with a tape I don't care about. While experimenting this tape broke. I was horrified thinking it might have been one of my special tapes. After some investigation it occurred to me that the tape that broke was from the early 1970s and on inspection seems to be brittle. My special tapes are from the early 2000 and are in visually better shape. In the end, since I was confident I new how to get my .mp3 files I went ahead and recorded all 6 cassettes in one morning. I loaded the files on my phone and have been enjoying them immensely. I seldom take the time to review an item purchased from Amazon but this one deserves 5 stars in every way. If you like complicated and expensive electronics then this item is not for you. If you simply want to convert cassettes to .mp3 without needing an attached computer this is the equipment for you.

Works as described. Its a niche item but I needed to convert vinyl's to digital. I removed 1 star because its speakers are low-mid and the instructions are useless. However with a learning curve it works and that's what's important. So to record power on device hold power 5 sec. Format USB stick and insert>Source to Phono>Play record>Hit Record button or button 4 it will give a usb-record on display. Let the record play completely.>hit stop button wait 5 seconds>move needle back into place and than you can remove your USB drive. Now important note. It does make an mp3 file. However it is not compatible with android. It will show and "play" with no audio. However the files will read and play on windows. Download a free converter software and change the files to .WAV and it will work for android. You're welcome in advance.

First of all, the LCD display on the front of the unit is not visible when viewed head-on. You have to view it at about a 60 degree angle from above to see anything on it. At first I thought it was broken until I happened to stand up and caught sight of the display writing. Others have reported this problem also. But the worst problem is it is entirely flaky about recording MP3s to USB. Often pressing REC does nothing. Sometimes it appears to start recording, and then the display will read DECFULL. Other times you will think you have successfully finished recording a record side, put the thumb drive in your computer, and you find jibberish file names. When you try to delete the files, Windows complains that they are "too long". I had to format the thumb drive to get rid of the corrupt data. And note - it would corrupt previously good files that had been recorded also. So I had 2 good side recordings, and then on the 3rd recording it blasted all the recordings in the storage directory on the USB stick. So if you DO get a good recording, copy it to your hard drive right away before making more! I think it took me about 11 tries to record 4 record sides. Sound quality is about the same as a basic clock radio. It has two small speakers. I was not looking at this as a means to play records to listen to, but to digitize them. The speakers are just a convenience to listen as you are recording so you know when to start/stop recording. If you are looking for a way to play to listen, this device is not for you. There is a headphone jack that may provide a better experience; I did not try it. I really wanted this device to work. The workflow is simple - plug in USB stick and press REC and STOP at the beginning and end of the record. But unfortunately the device is too unreliable. You spend 20 minutes spinning a record thinking you are recording it only to find it was corrupted or you get a DECFULL error. I'll be returning it.

I really like the small footprint of this record player, the bluetooth feature is very helpful, in that I can play my apple music through it. The 'Auxiliary out" jack is very useful too! The unit does not have a CD player, but I bought one for only $21.00 and it plays DVD's too! I looped the headphone jack to an external speaker ( a Bose radio!) and my old records sound fantastic. The unit also has an equalizer on the remote and this is so helpful to get just the right tone. It has both AM and FM radio reception, which is nice because some of the other units only have FM. All in all, this little unit does so much and I"m very happy with it!

The sound is bad. And it doesn't work good.

I got this to transfer music from LPs to mp3s and was frustrated at first because the "REC" button did not seem to do anything. The customer service was amazingly fast and helpful. "Vivian" at DIGITNOW had me format a USB drive in FAT32 (I used a 2GB since some customers say there's a 4GB cap on max drive size). The trick then was to copy an mp3 onto the drive and put it into the unit and cycle through sources until it came to USB. Then press play. At that point the mp3 on the USB stick started playing. With that working, I followed Vivian's advice and pressed STOP and switched to another audio source. At that point I pressed "REC" and it began recording, indicated by "REC --> USB" on the display. Afterwards I checked on my computer that the recording had indeed worked and it was great. Bear in mind that, for $70, the speaker output is little more than functional but, for the price, you get a hell of a lot of functionality (vinyl, tape, AM, FM, mp3, bluetooth) and built-in ability to make mp3s from any of those source. Pretty amazing. And with the INCREDIBLY helpful customer support this is an easy purchase to make if you need its capabilities.

Nice setup easy to use not to big sounds great small enough to take anywhere in the house or outside
