what is the difference between children’s records for a record player and standard records?
i bought a record player online and realized after that it said 'great for kids' i thought it was just a cool comic book hero themed record player, but now i think i have something im never going to be able to use. can standard records be played on this?
I suppose you're talking about an "old-fashioned" turntable, from before CDs, etc, right?
Records are recorded in different speeds. The most common is 33 1/3. That means that the record makes 33 1/3 revolutions per minute. As long as the record and the player are at the same speed, you should be OK.
There is a switch on the player to change speeds.
The speed of the record is listed on the label.
Make sure they match.
The more important issue is the quality of the player, especially the needle and the speakers.
That will affect the quality of the sound that you hear.
