INTRODUCTION
The USB turntable connects directly to your computer to turn your treasured vinyl recordings into digital
music. We have included two software packages to aid you in converting your vinyl recordings:
EZ Vinyl Converter (PC only) is the quickest and easiest way to turn your recordings into digital
media. EZ Vinyl Converter conveniently saves your recordings in your iTunes library. Novice users
may find this application preferable. We have included a handy Quickstart Guide with step-by-step
instructions on software installation and operation.
Audacity (PC and Mac) 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. The Audacity Software Guide can be found on the included CDs – please
refer to this guide as you are working with Audacity.
To install the software: simply insert the included CD into your computer and follow the on-screen
instructions. After you finish converting your vinyl, you can then burn to CD or load onto portable media
devices.
