I bought this unit based on reviews I read. However I'm hearing talk about lossless files and and dig ver analog did I record to I tunes wrong

No. All lossless files are are uncompressed digital files. Unlike mp3 or wave files which are compressed and you end up losing a lot of subtle nuances like dynamic range and things that make the music sound full and life like. A lossless digital file is the closest thing to analog as far as sound quality. Hope this helps.

I some what understand your question, I don't think it had anything to do with the headphone amp though... to eliminate the question, try to do the same thing without it being connected, and last but not least, I don't know how this amp would make any device(s) lose any files... I haven't had that problem.

This unit does not change files on your computer in any way. It simply connects to the analog output and amplifies whatever is being played.

Likely, you made a data CD (need to make an audio CD) as stated by previous poster. If not, record using a lower sampling rate WAV file.

You can skip tracks in bluetooth. As for me the unit is very loud for its size. Also it depends on your music, i notice that some of my songs are loud since they are recorded in high quality bitrate. While some songs that have low recording it won't be that loud with the volume at max.

I agree with the statement that MP3's are horrible. I've tried to convert. Just doesn't happen. What I have found is that music meant for CD, sounds better to me on CD. Music initially recorded on vinyl sounds better to me on vinyl. I kept my records. But I do have an extensive CD collection. I find Vinyl at charity shops and second hand shops for as little as $.25. When buying old records, remember to look for warping, scratches, dirty patches--which may cover hidden damage--, crayon drawings (who hasn't seen this?). In other words look them over carefully.

Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input source. Hope this helps. I think it is an excellent device.Maria Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input... » Read More Hi Gary,As I didn't use this feature I can only repeat what I see from the user guide that comes with the unit as follows."Recording to disc from the RIAA Phono Inputs" (So I think the anwser is YES)Note: Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.It is also possible to perfom manual recording to disk from the RIAA Phono input source.

Not that I recommended this device - I returned it. But, which line out are you using from your receiver? Normally for this type of operation you would take the "record" line out

It worked fine for me. However, don't expect this device to produce studio quality recordings.

It may be the record itself perhaps? Is the player level? My unit works beautifully 2 yrs now!

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you. V/R Jackie

After much reviewing MP3 players that recorded, I passed Ipod and Creative, Sansa 280 won!I have 3 things to mentioned about recording/interviewing:1 - Don't get the mic to close to the subject, 10-12" is close enough, otherwise you will have extra noise.2 - Use the record button left of the unit to active automatic recording.3 - Use the lock button, to avoid any problems once finished, unlock and save.I will use this unit at Coachella, so I will have further info on it.Further comments please visit me at http://www.myspace.com/paytareunionprogramPayta After much reviewing MP3 players that recorded, I passed Ipod and Creative, Sansa 280 won!I have 3 things to mentioned about recording/interviewing:1 - Don't get the mic to close to the subject, 10-12" is close enough, otherwise you will have extra noise.2 - Use the record button left of the unit to active automatic recording.3 - Use the lock button, to avoid any problems once finished, unlock and save.I will use this unit at Coachella, so I will have further info on it.Further comments please visit me at... » Read More After much reviewing MP3 players that recorded, I passed Ipod and Creative, Sansa 280 won!I have 3 things to mentioned about recording/interviewing:1 - Don't get the mic to close to the subject, 10-12" is close enough, otherwise you will have extra noise.2 - Use the record button left of the unit to active automatic recording.3 - Use the lock button, to avoid any problems once finished, unlock and save.I will use this unit at Coachella, so I will have further info on it.Further comments please visit me at http://www.myspace.com/paytareunionprogramPayta « Show Less

Sorry, but I haven't reached that point yet. But I'm guessing when memory storage has been reached, it won't record any more. I'm still getting more familiar with mine but so far have been very pleased with it. I use my "antique" recorder as a backup.

This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much. BUT, when I plug a mic into the line in, it doesn't work. I've gone through it to see if I have to tell it to use the line in and from what I can tell, it should be using it but I can only get the onboard mics to pic up sound. I have a TASCAM GB10 for my guitar and that thing kicks ass. I thought this was going to be another version of that but there's no guitar input as stated.As far as capacity it's all up to how much space you load into it. You use SD cards so if you put in a 2GB, I highly doubt you're going to record a set. So just get as big of a card as possible. This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much.

I'm sorry, I only use it to play records. I know it worked to begin with but haven't used that feature since I bought itl.

You know what . . . .? I haven't used my digital voice recorder since I got my Macbook which records my voice and then I can lay a track of music over the voice recording. I use it for my hypnosis client's sessions. So I can't help with your question, sorry.

This is a good unit; i've used it for many, many hours, and it performs. That said, I always use it with external mic-in, and not with the onboard mics. I've tried those, they work, but my overall advice with what every you buy is this; try it before you go, and I mean thoroughly. Record, know how to adjust the record volume and then listen to it, under the conditions you bought it for. If you're going to edit it (say, with Audacity) and then distribute it by MP3, then actually go through those steps and know what you will get. Been there, done that, this is good advice.
