The phono player comes with a very short analog rca cable, so an extension cable is recommended. This also has a USB port and software to record to a laptop or PC, so you can then use whatever other program you have to upload to your phone or media device. It does a decent job. Personally, I just use it to listen to my albums from my receiver...sounds great! This is much more affordable than those $299 units in the store and doubt the added features are that better. Happy listening.
