i just got a ITUT-201SVR for xmas and am trying to record my albums to my laptop. First off it sounds like the turntable is ripping my record apart and there is no sound and no playback at all. It looks like it is downloading but there is no sound. I am using Windows XP on my Dell Latitude.

First thing to do is check the stylus and check that all the packaging has been removed.

As Steve says - and ...
When you plug in a USB device like this your computer hands over control of all sound services to the USB device - both input and output. Since your USB TT doesn't have a set of speakers, you then don't get any sound from the computer (not even the normal computer sounds).
All you need to do is to get your O/S and Audacity to retarget the sound output onto your computer's on-board soundcard. In Windows use
Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio > Sound Playback (I don't know the MAC equivalent) - in Audacity use
Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O > Playback Device - you may need to close and restart Audacity for the change to take effect.
