## What is CRPlayer?

From taking a vinyl record out of the jacket and putting it on the turntable to start playing, to finishing the performance and putting it back in the jacket, it moves just like a real player. You can touch the vinyl record with your finger to change the speed, stop the turntable with your finger for scrubbing, or stop the tone arm with your finger to make the needle skip. But, unlike the real thing, no matter how harshly you handle it, the original sound source will not be damaged at all! 
Enjoy the feeling of listening to records on a record player to your heart's content.
