This is how it's done :)

Also, have you actually gone into record stores and previewed records before buying them? I may purchase this record player[1] as a way to check out records at the store, but I wasn't sure if this was a thing store owners typically allow. Any insight?

Believe it or not but you don't HAVE to buy anything, you can sit there for hours and if nothing catches your attention leave empty handed. The handytrax are cool but more for big garage sales where they don't provide decks and I'd be wary of a record store that doesn't have record players.
