CROSLEY RECORD PLAYER WITH USB PORT SOFTWARE
If more detail is required, there is more information included in the software folder. It’s then a case of opening up the software on the computer and following the instructions. Load the enclosed CD into the computer and connect the included USB cable from the jack at the back of the Crosley to the computer. When it comes to recording music, the process itself is simple enough. In terms of actually playing records, there’s a cue lever which you use to lift the arm off the rest manually, you move the tonearm over the record, then use the cue lever again to lower the tonearm onto the record – the record will start to spin when you do this.Ī nice feature is that if you fall asleep whilst listening to your vinyl, the arm will return to its rest automatically when it reaches the end of the record. There’s a speed control switch for 33/45 and 78. In terms of controls, there’s an on/off switch beside the turntable that also acts as a volume control.īesides this, there’s a dial for the tone. Ease of UseĪnother positive that the Crosley Cr249 has going for it is that it’s incredibly simple to use. There’s a 45 RPM adaptor, and there are a USB cable and software for the recording of vinyl.

What comes with the Crosley? Well, there’s the all-important A/C adaptor for powering the record player. As with all stand-alone, all in one retro record players, the speakers are internal, so they aren’t going to be the loudest. What is fine for one person in terms of sound quality may not be as satisfactory for someone else. As has been stated in other record player reviews, everyone has differing needs when it comes to sound. Returning to the playing of vinyl, the sound is fine. Maybe you want to listen to your vinyl on your mp3 player (if you like rare vinyl, it’s surprising how much of it is just not available in any other format, making it all the more precious) or you may want to simply preserve your vinyl for posterity.Īs any vinyl devotee will tell you, there’s wear and tear involved in listening to vinyl, which makes looking after it all the more important. But the other main feature of this Crosley is the ability to record your old vinyl into MP3 format. Well, it plays records, 33/45/78′s (although we’ll return to the 78′s later in the review). So what does the Crosley Cr249 actually do, I hear you ask. It also feels quite light, so it’s easily transported. The case itself feels solid and durable, and the finish seems to be of high quality.ĭimension wise, it’s 22 x 16 x 11 inches, so the Crosley CR249 is not going to occupy a lot of room. The player is encased in a solid case, which has a handle to help you carry it around. This Crosley comes in two colors – tan and black.
