Bruh I legit thought my original sealed albums were broken this explained everything thank you!
Same!!
I have spent all day on this. First TH-cam video solves it!! You're a lifesaver
Isn’t it interesting that sometimes the easy way is the best way.....
Occam‘s razor
Thank you! I’ll definitely try this tomorrow! I have a few brand new ones that skips for no reason
Same all of my new records have skips so im going to try this.
You can try placing a quarter on top of your record needle. That's what I do. It's old school and it still works.
@@darkknight1a dude, you saved me from an embarrasing possible fight with a record store. They sent me a brand new record that skips only on a few tracks. The weird thing is, none of my other brand new records skipped, ever, and neither do my old ones. This is literally the first vinyl ive encountered that skipped ever. I think there is something up with the vinyl process they used, but I could def be wrong. Just glad the damn thing plays correctly now, thanks man. Quarter worked perfect.
Ayo facts bro imma have to try this one out 😂😂
@@maskharah pretty sure that slowly destroys them. Let me know if those records still work
I was having a problem with skipping and I believe this quick and easy fix solved the problem! Just as simple as pressing down on the tonearm! Glad I found your video! Thanks so much for sharing! Now I can enjoy my old vinyl a lot better!
3 out of my 4 records constantly skip and i'm seriously losing my shit :(
Same-
Same i just bought a new turntable and new records and it’s skipping idk
Same I got Watch The Throne on vinyl and it's expensive af but it skips on the otis song.
There’s a reason we all switched to cd in the 80s

Man! I can't thank you enough for this video. I added a few drops of car oil to plastic piece you've mentioned here, and there's no more skipping at all! The needle is also falling slowly before it touches the record, while it used to fall quickly and hit the record. Big thanks from Syria.
Just recently got into collecting. Didn't have any issues for a while, then the skipping started after two weeks of use.
This fixed it. Thanks so much!
My kid just got into vinyls, this is a life saver thank you.
Glad to hear!
@@RecordologyMy rest piece snapped off
You have just solved my most irritating issue. This was always a pain for me - tried all kinds before coming across this video.. 🙌🏻
Thank you so much! I got the new Taylor Swift record and it was the only one I had that was skipping so I was concerned that some there was problem with it, I tried this and it seems to have been fixed!
samee all of my taylor swift records skip except for 1989
Same! I even exchanged it for another one and same problem. I have no skipping with older vinyls so I'm very confused.
thank you so much
i've recently been experiencing minor skips with my new record player, which kinda annoyed me.
but after following everything in this video, i experienced not a single skip after.
Didnt do anything
Thank you for the quick and easy fix! I just recently started collecting records and I noticed one of my Melanie Martinez records was skipping. This is a life saver
same!!! I had the portals one and it kept like repeating, hopefully this works!
yes! on my newly unboxed k12 vinyl on class fight it skipped on the chorus.
Yeah this also happend on my billie ellish vinyl that my aunt just got me
This happened with my sour album and AM album ☠️
Thank you so much i got a jam all in one turntable and it would skip on every record and its not my records its the turntable. My uncle works with record players and he told me to put a penny on the arm bit so i did but it still skips on certain songs so tomorrow i will definitely try this thanks !
Thank you for the video on this it really explains why my all in one that my mom bought me a couple years ago I think it’s a PYLE brand skips all the time and especially when I have anything to base. Thank you for explaining this because it’s so makes sense. I was trying to explain to her why and on one isn’t good and this video is proof that I am right so thank you! This blind guy is very happy
You are so welcome!
Record-ology this is my first time trying to reply to a replay of my comments so thank you for the advice I look that turntable up and it’s only $200 is that too inexpensive for good sound when I have a 5.1 sound system in the sound bar and also didn’t know if spending more money when I get more quality or is this $200 one good quality? Sorry for all the questions but I think you so much
THIS FIXED MY RECORD PLAYER THANK YOU SO MUCH
I do what I can… 😂 #vinyl #turntable #shorts
First Google attempt brought me to this video. Nailed it! Thanks man.
Very welcome!
I have the Audio-Technica LP60x, and this worked like a charm. Can't buy a thrill by Steely Dan would skip two times in the first song alone. Now there is no more skipping and I can enjoy my favorite artist! Thank you so much!
That was it, thank you! i thought there was something wrong with the record, but nope! Thanks much.
Glad it helped!
Your video saved me the hassle of packing up my Hitachi HT-1 instead a little push down with my finger solved the madness. Thank you so much!
for the first time in my life,a random first youtube video actually helped me
thanks bro,really helped me out
Dude you’re my hero!!! I have a project carbon III and it’s been skipping EVERY record, driving me nuts. Indeed the rest does not go down all the way and the tone arm rests on it when playing records. I have to push down on the rest to keep it down and the record plays great now. Problem still not fixed the rest won’t stay down…
Was about to return my record player because of skipping, and I think this solved most of the problem! Thank you!!
this video was amazing and super helpful, solved a ton of my skipping issues!
Glad it helped!
this helped so much man, i thought there was something wrong with my turntable so this saved me alot.
Ah yesss! Thank you! I just went to play a record I just bought and it was skipping like crazy... I watched this video and remembered that my cat had jumped on my record player earlier and that turned out to be the problem!
Holy shit. Brand new record player and records, could not figure out why they were skipping so bad. This did it! THANK YOU!! 🤘🏻
I was able to return my
Record player until I did this. Thank you. I’ll change the cartridge as well for a better sound
Bless you! I had this problem while listening to Floyd! Thx so much
Glad it helped!
If mine still continues to skip what else do you suggest? Got my first record player today. Threw the record on. Made sure to read instructions before doing so. Playing at 33. First song I played played well until about 15 seconds in and started skipping like crazy. I tried going to another song and same thing so I decided to clean the record but it still continues to skip. I flipped the record. Dealing with the same issue. It’s skipping. The last song on the record is playing with no skips at all. I’m very new to this so I’m all ears. Any suggestions is appreciated. Merry Christmas and God bless
I’m experiencing the same issue right now
same
put some bluetact on the toner arm on top of where the needle sits. it should hold it down enough to play . be careful not to add to much tho as this can burn out the needle
@@DIFFLOCKERSTHANK YOUU
@@hxpefullyy798what is bluetact?
Thank you friend we just brought a crosley cruiser delux for my mother and thought there was a problem with it thanks to you my mother and sister who brought the gift are very happy... too bad they stop putting the counter weights on the arm... thanks again
Really good advice, I have an audio technica LP60X and I believe the tracking force to be very well calibrated however it skipped 2 times on the song ‘around the world’ on daft punks Album ‘homework’, but I followed what you said and it doesn’t skip anymore, I also tried it on an Eminem album that would repeat infinitely and it also worked. Thanks so much!
Can you please go in depth of what you did
I have that exactly player, what exactly did you do?
I have a Sony PS LX300USB with a skipping problem. I eventually figured out that it only likes to play pop and classical music. If I put on a record with heavy bass and drums, it skips right past the tracks. I guess my turntable is a musical snob.
I had the same problem, I replaced the original stylus and it’s a lot better now. Sometimes it’s just a simple fix
Running to try this right now. Side c of my favorite album Always just gets skated over thanks for the tip!
what should we do if the record player keeps skipping after pressing down on the tone arm?
This just stopped me from breaking all my stuff
Lol
Mary will show u how to smash vinnylz
I didn't even need to press down on the tone arm, I found 1 SINGLE SPECK OF DUST, cleaned it off, and the record played through (so far, I'm listening to it right now with no hiccups as far as I can tell). ONE SPECK OF DUST and I thought I'd have to get a refund!
I was so scared my vinyls were scratched and in the end it was so easy to solve, thank u!!
thx so much for this video, i thought my record was broken!
Glad it helped!
Other tonearm lifts put the tonearm down too roughly.
Those are fixable by adding some silicone liquid for damping.
adding to what exactly, what part?
omg this was such a life saver, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Holy damn, that actually fixed it! Thank you so much
Mine isn't exactly like this put ur explanation of how it works helped solve my issue! Thank u
Started looking to get a new record player as I was listening to a record and it was skipping at my favourite part, did this and replayed and it didn’t skip
thanks. Got a new record, and it was skipping. pushed down and it stopped skipping. Learn something new everyday!
Excellent!
thank you so much i genuinely thought i was going crazy
Have you ever done a video on how to manually change/skip a song on a manual turntable?
I have a 6 in 1 without the lever and am having issues. Any chance you solved it?
thank you so much! my record is no longer skipping!
Glad it helped!
what should i do if my needle is too heavy for one side of my record?? Like it plays just fine on one side but on the other side it seems like my needle is too heavy and my record warps for a second and then slowely stops.
the way i clicked on this to fix a lady gaga vinyl…. 🤠
many thanks - I am in vinyl heaven once more!
Wish I would’ve saw this before exchanging my 6 in 1. My new one will be here today so I’ll be sure to check the arm. Thanks for the video.
i’ve had my player for less than a month, the lever on the arm is trash and doesn’t work well but you literally saved me i was so confused with what was going on
Dude where was this video 4 months ago when I got an all-in-one player that skips on almost every record (especially my taylor swift ones). This almost completely fixed my skipping issues (still have some minor ones on very bass heavy songs but 1-2 skips every few songs is 1000x better than 10+ skips on just 1 song).
Thanks man. Im gonna try this right now
I chuckled when you made the sticky sound and so did you lol
thats a useful little video....good stuff to know...
Glad it was helpful!
Yo, I thought there was something wrong with my new records, was pretty frustrated, this seems to have solved the issue for the most part..
With those cheap record players the tonearm and needle isn't good enough to handle the bass, so it skips. That's why the RL cut of Zeppelin II got pulled and is hard to find
My mom got me one of those all in one record players and you’re right with the base anytime I play a record that even has minimal base it skips. I have been trying to look into that and now I totally understand why because of what you said in your comment and also with what this video is about. I am a blind guy who is trying to find the right record player so I will be replying to this video in general but I wanted to say thank you to you
yeah that's an issue for me. i used the penny method and it played fine. but now, i just make sure the record is clean and make sure the tracking force isn't too much.
THANK YOU! I had to use WD40 to help loosen that part, so it would go up and down better.
TH-cam is awesome thank you
Oh. My. God. It worked. I have 4 months of Vinyl Moon records I haven’t listened to and a new stylus I had to order from NYC (I live in WA state) but didn’t install because I wasn’t sure that was the issue… then I pressed down… aaaand my Audio Technica works again. My setup doesn’t have a lever but it has an ⬆️/⬇️ button. Thank you!! 🍻
If the arm is not going down that small fraction, perhaps you could solve it by raising the record with a mat.
What if when I push it down it goes back up, is there anything I could put there to make it stay down?
I believe that did it!!!! Thank you
thank you! i thought there was something wrong with my records
Thanks very much I will try this.
was thinking of taping a farthing to the base of the stylus arm but fortunately found your upload first !
Thank you
Back in the day we would tape a coin on top of the arm thereby ensuring the weight was always put on the needle.
Thank you so much!
hey, i just think that makes more pressure then it should on the vinyl, I think you should use only one time, like i fixed mt ttypd skipping 4 seconds so long london, now i just let the normal thing do it's thing! thx very much!
thank you so much I had to but the same record three times because it was always skipping this one song I’m gonna try this and hopefully it works
Will try today!!!
just what I was thinking thank you for this video
Seriously, thank you!!! I was going mad trying to figure this out!😂
Happy to help!
Wow. I almost returned my brand new player. Going to watch all of your videos now 😂
Thank you!
What if only one song is skipping?
WTF! This worked!! You're a legend, thank you.
Omg thank you
thank you for this ...can I ask is there a lubricant to buy ....do you need to push it down every time or just when skipping ✌️
This did not help me. Do you have any other advice!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit. It fixed it. Thank you
i tried it but i think the vinyl has some issue in my case
Thanks so much for this quick tip saved my record player just in time for the holiday records. 👍
I did it, but my new records are still skipping
Thank you so much! You saved me a trip to the record store!
This worked for me, thank you!
Love your videos what is your favorite turntable now
I genuinely think my record is broke and I litteraly waited 4 months for it and just got it but this was still helpful
Best video. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!.
You're welcome!
Thank you! Is there a recommended lubricant to use? Just curious. If the lubricant is replaced(after cleaning of course!) it should work like intended. WD40?
i have the same problem, and as hard as i push nothing happens? im svared i will break my record player? what should i doo
i thought my prized record had a scratch… turns out its all gonna be okay 😁
Yay!!!!
Tried this but it doesn’t seem to work, any other suggestions?
YES!!! That was it!! Thank you!!!!!
I would sand the two plastic contact points down so it is below the arm in the rest position. Get your Dremel tool out.....
bro u is a legend frfrs
Mine still skips. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much this helped a lot!
