Do you let the turntable spin when putting down record and attach the clamp.

Whenever you que up a record with the platter spinning, with or without a clamp/weight, you increase your chance of an accident.

If one can't change records and cue the tonearm with a rotating platter, one should probably stick to seedees.
 
I imagine these are the same people we see driving around alone in a car wearing a face diaper.

Based on your avatar and comment, one can assume that you’re a night club DJ, therefore, I bow to your experience

Hmm, I detect that you might be a tad facetious.

So let me posit in this manner. Do you stop the platter, lift the arm, take off the record, put on a new record, place the stylus in the groove, then start the platter? Every time?

Because that is the way the OP suggests it is the safest. If you agree, please feel free to let us know.


And while you are at it, please expound on how you made the connection between my profession and my avatar. I'd really like to hear that too.
