I mean, technically, there's not a lot to it. The grooves in the track move a physical needle in a coil which creates electrical pulses. Those pulses are amplified into sound that you can hear. I guess you could equate it to a kind of braille with a lot more information, or like running your fingernails on corduroy, or those musical highways where the tires sing.

I was gonna comment, but all I got is what they said! 
In the end, there can only be… The one
Something that a fox forgot to mention is depending on the size of the hole in the middle of the record. The bigger records normally has the tiny hole, but for the smaller records that with a bigger hole, some record players come with a I don’t know what you call it a thing in the middle that you may be able to pull up so that it takes up the space versus the skinnier stock which is about the size of a number two pencil that the larger records take up and if your record player didn’t come with this, I don’t know what you call it apparatus to take up the space for the smaller records with a bigger hole. I think the 45 I’m sorry I should’ve said that way you could probably buy them on Amazon. It’s like a plastic thing that you actually put I believe in the hole and then you slide the whole thing down on the skinny stock. I hope that’s a good explanation and yeah that’s about it. All right good luck. Yes, I collect vinyl.

Also, because the stylus is very sensitive, don't touch it with your fingertips or it will become degraded

It should have come with a stylus, a.k.a. Needle. But you will also need something to play. The label on the record will tell you how fast the RPMs should be, they can be 33 1/3, 45, or 78 rpm. I assume your player will either have a selector switch, or an app to choose the RPM speed. Once you get all that sorted. Put the vinyl on the Post in the center, and gently set the arm stylus on the edge of the record. You can do this while it is playing, or you can do this before you start the turntable. And that's basically it. The needle runs over the grooves and pits in a track, and vibrates, those vibrations are translated into sound which is fed to an amplifier, and then out to your speakers.
