Be able to transfer your vinyl records to MP3 or WAV FLAC WMA digital files to save wear and tear on your beloved vinyl records so you can still play them in top quality from your laptop or desktop computer without damaging them and wearing them down with play, also improve them by being able to edit them once they are in the digital form by maybe increasing the bass or use noise reduction if you have a particular record you like that maybe a little noisy from use over the years. You can do that here by transferring them from this turntable and either using the CD which comes with this turntable to put the editing tools on your laptop or computer,or by downloading FREE software that allows you to edit the files. The options are endless. You can even apply different EQ (equalisation) Which include RIAA the American music industry standard for years which was applied to American records and then there's different record company EQ which can be applied like RCA and DECCA EQ. Like I say the options are endless.
