Hello Susan I purchased this turntable two years ago using Windows 7 no problems I believe you have a faulty unit. Also, I purchased `Spin Again' software for downloading lps. Very easy more user friendly than audacity

Hi Susan sorry to hear of your problem, but my first unit had to be returned to store as it did not function, the second works fine on XP and with my ROBERTS sound unit,hope you get sorted soon

I run Linux on my PC, so I can't address the Windows issue. And I don't think I even used the USB interface at all ... I just used the "line-level" output, and plugged that directly into my PC's sound card, and that worked perfectly.

Yes, it was compatible with Windows 8... my issue was that at first it worked... and worked well. After a few weeks it became "glitchie" and getting it to turn on and be recognized by my Windows 8 computer... well, it was difficult. If I would get it recognized (in the beginning this was not a problem), when I could get the item connected, I would leave it on, as long as I could. Like a car you don't want to turn off, because you worry about whether you can get it started, again (bad starter, etc.) this item was like that, for me.

Kerwin, the answer to your question is yes. I started playing my usb and then unplugged the unit. When I plugged it back in, it started playing again on it's own with out me doing anything. PS Be sure to move the selector knob to usb. Just tried it and if you don't move the selector knob the usb just flashes and doesn't play. So move the knob to usb. This happens to be a great little unit. :)

I am still having difficulties with the USB Cassette working. I thought it was me, but a friend that is really savy in recording said that the USB Cassette is stopping during play back. Now I will need to find how to get a replacement. Waited a long time for this one to arrive only to find out it is partially inoperative.

Hello, before you buy this card i just want you to know that i have this sound card last 2011, but i did not actually use it, it got an issue on drivers, i install the driver that comes with it and it didn't recognize on window xp 32bits and win 7 64bits. I email the company and they sent me a link for the driver, i downloaded the driver and it works but it is a little bit freaky, i mean that some times i got sound and then when i exit from a certain game i don't have sound on my main computer. I open my media player , no sound . I have to reboot the computer in order to have the sound back to the main computer. It seems that it change the settings for no reason...or the driver is not recognize. I didn't bother to return the card because it was cheap $39 bucks and i just want to experiment the card for other use for now. If your not planning to have a 5.1 or 7.1 sounds i recomend just buy the regular Creative sound blaster stereo.( the one with speaker out, mic in and line-in green,red and blue.) I hope this helps.

I cannot specifically say that a "USB Player" will be recognized. I plugged in a thumb drive and it worked. I have also plugged in an external hard drive through a "Blac X" (USB) and it works flawlessly. I assume that any standard USB device will be recognized and therefore should work. I read the first comment about lousy product and service. That has not been my experience. I emailed a question about using thumbnail displays and received a prompt reply the following day that addressed, and answered, my specific question - it was not a generic automated response.

Neither could I ! The USB port would not work with my laptop or MP3 player or other audio sources either. This unit has many other bugs as well. I returned mine after toying around with it for 30 days.. Sorry I couldn't really help with your problem, other than my strong recommendation to return it ASAP.....

Has anyone tried this with Windowss 8 yet? I have the Qstartz BT-1000q that worked with Win 7, but USB driver does not work with Win 8.

Thanks for your response Mr. Holder. I did return mine and the replacement unit works great. I'm not sure if I plugged the first one into a separate power source so it may have been my fault it didn't work. I wish it came with clearer instructions. I may have thought it ran off the power of the stereo or zune.

As far as I know, you don't need drivers for this, but even if you do need drivers, you might want to tell us what operating system you are using which doesn't appear to support it. My advice would be that if the device does not seem to work when plugged into one of your USB ports that you assume that USB port is actually broken and try an alternate USB port. In case you are wondering, while I repair crashed windows installations with some frequency, and know too much about windows drivers, I'm only using Ubuntu Linux now, it is free, and it does not need drivers even for devices, such as printers and scanners, that traditionally need drivers when used with Windows.

Mine works okay though the sound quality isn't very good. I had trouble with a flash drive that developed the problem of not being recognized by any of my computers. Found no remedy for it and the company would not replace it. Disgusting turn of affairs. Hope you have better luck. F. Burton

I CANNOT get this device to show up on my brand new Vaio running Windows 7. It says the driver is installed, an update says I have the latest driver, I hear the 'connect' sound when I plug it in, but the little power LED on the device just lights up and goes right out. I turn around and plug it into my old XP computer......... and it works fine. So now I have to put the diskette in the device, device into XP computer, XP files to thumb drive, thumb drive over to laptop, and finally copy! ARRRRGH! What started out as a big project (100 diskettes) is going to take forEVER. :-/ Why, oh why, will it not show up in my Windows 7? Good luck to you!

I have a similar problem with mine. When I plug the player in, the software doesn't recognize it. I've tried different ports , too. (USB1&2) I never get the green audio lines on the graph. I tried reinstalling several times. In my review I stated that I payed for nothing more than a Walkman.

My USA630 has problems with the USB also. The radio will play a while and then lock up with an error 01-100 (or something like that). Sometimes just shutting the unit off for a few seconds will make it work again for a little while but at other times I have to remove the USB and leave it off a while before replacing it. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. I plan to get rid of the unit completely this winter. This is a replacement for the first one and it's not worth the aggravation.

Did you re-start your DWS and/or your computer? I haven't had a single problem, but that doesn't mean nobody ever had one. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but if you haven't tried this, try this: unplug your LPD8, restart your computer, plug in the LPD8, launch your music software. Good luck!

Good question. I did not expect the problem I had encountered as well, but theoretically everything on your computer needs a "driver" to work properly. For some devices (the USB BT adapter in our case, not the BT audio adapter), Windows use preloaded drivers to access them so that they seem to be "plug & play." In very rare case that the hardware has more functions than the preloaded driver can provide, problems might happen. Normally Windows gives warnings or "unrecognized device" messages and let the user install or update the driver, but in my case it seemed Windows used a deprecated driver. My USB BT adapter works fine with many of my BT devices but it just could not initialize connections to the BT audio adapter. To sum up, the problem is the deprecated driver for the USB BT adapter. The problem has nothing to do with the BT audio adapter and Windows 7. Only the driver of the USB BT adapter matters. For most Windows 7 machines they use appropriate drivers and they will be fine. My review just serves as a reference that if someone encounter the same connection problem they can update the driver themselves to solve the issue.

Delete the USB driver and restart your PC, then it should be ok. It is not the MP3 problem. I have 3 of this mp3. , they don" t have any problem since Ibought it last June
