No, you cannot rewind a vinyl record. Vinyl records are analog recordings, which means that the music is stored as physical grooves on the surface of the record. The needle on your turntable tracks these grooves to produce sound.
When you play a vinyl record, the needle moves from the outside of the record to the inside. When it reaches the end of the record, it lifts up and starts over from the outside.
There is no way to make the needle move backwards through the grooves of the record. Therefore, it is not possible to rewind a vinyl record.
How to skip to a previous song on a vinyl record
If you want to skip to a previous song on a vinyl record, you will need to lift the needle up and move it to the beginning of the song you want to play.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Lift the tonearm up using the cueing lever.
- Move the tonearm over the groove of the song you want to play.
- Slowly lower the tonearm onto the record.

- Hold the record by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface.
- Use a soft brush to clean the record before playing it.

- Avoid exposing vinyl records to direct sunlight.
Conclusion
While you cannot rewind a vinyl record, you can skip to a previous song by lifting the needle up and moving it to the beginning of the song you want to play. Be sure to handle vinyl records carefully to avoid damaging them.
