 USB made Easy July 5, 2008
This turntable is very inexpensive, but it works very good. The duel hookup (L/R RCA jacks + USB)is nice and the included software is top-shelf. This is a great way to add vinyl music to your mp3 collection.
 Once you get past a quirk or 2, good stuff July 1, 2008
Everything plugged in fine, but right off the bat, I couldn't get any sound to come out of my computer speakers. I kept fiddling Options>Preferences>Audio within Sound Forge Audio Studio (which comes with the turntable), changing settings, then putting them back, & somewhere along the line, there was sound & there was ripping off my old vinyl & there was the easiest sound-file editing I've seen. I've quite happy with everything now ... though Sound Forge Audio Studio doesn't always detect the gaps between tracks so it crams multiple songs into 1 file, where the easy editing really helps.

This item was purchased as a gift for a Mac user. There were no materials that outlined the "system requirements", but Mac users beware, this is Windows compatible only.
Can this be? No Sound while playing album? June 6, 2008

Can this be? No sound while the album is playing?
I got this unit yesterday and excitedly dropped what I was doing when it arrived. Trouble is I CAN'T HEAR ANY SOUNDS FROM MY PC while the unit's USB cable is connected to my Dell / Windosw XP PC.
I called Sony support and spent about an hour with them on calls yesterday and today. The bottom line is that they say it's SUPPOSED to work this way. Even thought the manual for the included "Sound Forge Audio Studio LE" software indicates that one should be able to hear sound while recording! Sony's attitude was pretty much "well, it's supposed to work that way, the manual is wrong, too bad."
Another reviewer (R.McAnally) wrote:
"The software instructions in the manual
will lead you to select a "record" option
that will prevent you from hearing the audio
as you record it. This was a little annoying
until I found the "Vinyl Recording" feature.
If R. McAnally reads this and cares to comment more specifically about experiences hearing live sound, I'd LOVE it!
I was using this "Vinyl Recording and Resortation" tool in the software and even selected the "Monitor Input" selection and still no sound.
In my opinion, if I can't hear live sound from the album I'm recording, this product is worthless junk. I'll be looking to ship this one back to the Amazon affiliate and start shopping for a decent unit!
Price is right and Sound is Great April 28, 2008

The reason that I'm writing this review is because this product is new and I could not find a single review on this turntable before I purchased it. I had been shopping for a turntable for quite awhile, reading reviews and product specs until I finally decided on the PS-LX300USB mostly for its appearance, price, USB capabilities and the Sony name. I've had this turntable for two weeks now and so far I am very pleased with its performance.
Here's what I like about this turntable:
Great sound that surpasses a number of CD recordings of the same music; USB connection that easily allows conversion of analog music to digital files; Even the MP3s that I made sound better than some of the CD versions of the same music; It is black and blends in well with my other stereo equipment and doesn't look like a bloated silver flying saucer (like some other USB turntables); Easy to operate; Price is great; Software works very good once you figure out how it operates.
As for my opinion of its shortcomings:
The plastic construction has a light cheap look. The software instructions in the manual will lead you to select a "record" option that will prevent you from hearing the audio as you record it. This was a little annoying until I found the "Vinyl Recording" feature.
Conclusion:
If you simply want to enjoy the great sound of vinyl, and if you want to easily make your own mp3s, and if you don't feel the need to brag about spending $300 + on a turntable and $80 on RCA cables like the audiophiles would have you think is necessary, then this might be the turntable for you. I recommend this turntable and I've been listening to vinyl records for over fifty years.
