Tiny Vinyl 4‑inch turntable launch
Entities: Tiny Vinyl · Universal Music · Warner Music · GEMA · Suno
Overview
In July 2026 Tiny Vinyl announced the release of what it called the world’s smallest turntable, designed specifically for its 4‑inch vinyl records. By early August the company provided detailed specifications: a compact belt‑drive unit measuring roughly 10 × 5.5 × 6.5 inches, weighing 3.9 lb, spinning at 33.3 RPM, and equipped with dual speakers, Bluetooth, a headphone jack and AC power. Accessories such as a storage crate and display frame were also offered, and the format already featured releases from artists like BTS, Rihanna and The Rolling Stones. The August update also placed the product launch in the broader context of legal disputes surrounding AI‑generated vinyl, noting ongoing lawsuits by major labels against AI music platform Suno and a German court ruling on data‑scraping violations.
