 Easy peasy July 21, 2008
I found this very simple to use. I started opening the box at 10pm and was transferring my first album by 10.30.
 It's a basic solution, but good nevertheless July 10, 2008
I received the TTUSB05 as a present, and very grateful I was to receive it. Like many others I have an extensive vinyl collection that I would like to convert to mp3. In my case I will store them on a Network-Attached-Storage device which I use for photos and music.
So, turntable unpacked, CD popped into laptop, software installed. I connected the turntable, ran the EZ software that comes with the unit and started to record my first LP (don't laugh, but it was Leonard Cohen's Greatest Hits).
An extremely easy process. I had no problems committing Bird on a Wire, Sisters of Mercy, etc. to mp3
Would I recommend this unit, well maybe ...
It has a few shortcomings that I guess would be addressed in more expensive units. The playing arm is plastic and the counter-weight cannot be adjusted. This meant that a couple of my older LPs skipped during playback. The quality of the cartridge/stylus unit is not what it could be.
It has left me wondering whether or not I could take the innards out of the unit and install them in my antique Pioneer PL12D turntable (all the rage in the 1970's!).
As to software supplied it is very intuitive to use and gave me no problems. It is centred upon sending everything to the iTunes folder, which might be a problem for some.
One thing that I did encounter was that my PC suddenly went quiet. This was because the software/turntable using a new speaker driver that only works for files streaming from the turntable. I had to reset the existing speaker driver as default before I could play the mp3s that I have created.
Demkool having fun June 25, 2008

I would suggest that before you buy to check out the amazon .com reviews as well on this product. I bought this just before christmas after reading these comments on the amazon co.uk site.
After receiving it promptly I found out that it didn't work and from the other reviews on the other .com site it seemed to be a common problem.
After going through the returns form in my amazon account the suppliers return instructions send you to a website that is in german to register to log in to their site to arrange a return.(I don't speak German)
You have to pay for the postal charges to send it back if you are not in Germany which can be pretty pricey from here. I wish I could turn the clock back on this experience :(
Excellent Product, Very easy to use December 22, 2007

I had been toying with the idea of buying a USB turntable for quite some time- I am very pleased to have chosen this one.
I bought it from ACS Media ,it arrived within two working days!
Very simple to set up,first just straight into my stereo system ( make sure that you plug it into the aux plugs not the phono, due to the pre-amp on the turntable), but then I managed to start converting records very quickly.
It comes with all the software to convert vinyl via USB cable, or alternatively download the EZ Vinyl Converter via their website. Very good explanations for required settings for Vista.
All in all, incredibly easy and quick to use. There may be "professional" products costing alot more that will give a better quality of sound, but this is an excellent entry level product, and will certainly suit all my needs.
I'm just sorry I didn't buy one earlier!
