Thanks guys, but I really didn't come here for an English lesson.

[spoiler]cut me some slack, it's not my primary language[/spoiler]

It's not my FIRST lenguage

Ok, i think the problem can be the record player, If you have another one available try it on it.
You can also look for some supplys to clean your record, one of mine used to skip but once I cleaned it, it stoped skipping and the sound became even clearer.
Also, refer to vinyl in plural as records, people tend to get mad when you call the "vinyls", it's an advice as someone whose first lenguage is Spanish and I been trying to improve my English.

What turntable did you use. If Crosby or the cheap audio technica I wouldn't jump to negative conclusions about the quality of the record itself.

>>73040269
Crosley I think it was called

It was definitely a cheap one though. He said he got it from Target so I assumed it wasn't exactly top of the line

Okay so record players aren't computers, so troubleshooting requires more of a guess-and check approach. I can't diagnose your problem over the internet; you have to fix this yourself. The way you do it is you narrow down the potential culprit, starting with the most likely causes first. So here, I'll help you out.

>PROBLEM: The (new) record is skipping on a cheap turntable.

>#1 likely cause: The slip-mat was dirty and transferred dust to the record; now the record is dirty.
>Solution: wipe the record and slip mat (or equivalent area) off. Try again.

IF IT'S STILL SKIPPING:

>#2 most likely cause: the needle is dirty.
>Soultion: wipe the needle off

IF IT'S STILL SKIPPING

Time for some sleuthing. Play the record. Is it skipping in the same place over and over again? Examine the record. Does it look damaged? Try to figure out the point in the record where the skipping occurred. Examine that area. How does it look?

>#3 likely cause: the record has some stuff in the grooves that wiping didn't dislodge.
>solution: wipe more thoroughly with water

Question: Does your turntable have a counterweight? If it does, try decreasing the weight of the counterweight. Does the skipping persist?

Question: Are you sure the record is skipping? Watch the record spin. What is happening?

And you just keep going like that, checking to see if other records skip, etc. until you can isolate the problem.

Yeah lots of my records will skip on my friends Crosley but play fine on my turntable. Also if you use the built in speakers that will negate any benefits vinyl brings to the sounds quality.

This is bait right?
