How to Place a Vinyl on a Specific Song 

The needle tip uses diamond which will scratch the vinyl. So this is not recommended to do all of the time. What this is very useful for is if one side of an album starts with a song you do not like you can just position the needle manually to the end of that song. Then when you turn on the player any scratches that will happen will occur at the end of the song you do not like.

youtubes been recommending me vinyl content since i've been shopping for records and I found this. While I don't personally have the type of lighting in my room that causes records to have enough shine for this to work, You've got a sub for providing a simple and to the point tutorial that doesn't overstay it's welcome

Not a good idea to drop the needle anywhere except the beginning of the side. It can damage the groove. But if one insists on doing this keep in mind that every so often when lowering your tonearm with a lever you may start to get drift. The needle stops falling straight down and drifts falling on an angle. This usually means the bar that lowers the arm needs cleaning. Wipe it with alcohol on the end of a Q-tip and after it dries use fine grit sand paper VERY LIGHTLY to score the surface a bit. Your arm will start dropping straight down again.

I love vinyl man. Even though I knew how to do this, I saw it in my recommended and thought to myself “hey why not watch” I’m glad to see your helping people with vinyl!!

Thanks keeping it simple,good cueing is a necessity.

Jesus some of the people in the comments have been so consumed by records they sound like they are about to have a stroke over this video. 😂 it’s a piece of plastic go outside and touch grass. Oh I’m sorry guy’s I meant to say it’s a piece of PVC. Nice video man

CLEAN THE RECORD GOD DAMN

Great video, I’ve never used a record player before, and I always wondered how that worked.

Thank you man!

Subbed

Wowsers! There's a technique to this ? 😮

I would be worried about putting that stylus on any song

One doesn’t just simply choose a track like it’s a compact disc gotta play from start of side to end 🤬

Lol

What was the song playing tho?

I use an audio Technica atlp60 turntable that is automatic and spins when I move the tonearm when it's up so it's a bit hard for me,and this video is for manual turntable users only. I'm sure after some practice I will get It.

Spin the record before putting needle down

Omigawd. All you people stay away from my records.

Imagine not knowing this lol

But what if you have 13 songs

How do u not know this

First off it’s not a “vinyl”,it’s called a RECORD,and the device you play the record on is called a TURNTABLE, not a “vinyl player”. Also is it really necessary to make a video showing someone how to cue up a record? That is pretty self explanatory. I came across this video looking for Sam Fox tracks

Nobody should listen to someone who takes this poor care of records, or someone who calls them "vinyls"...
