the 45 adapter is if you have those little 7" singles. they normally have a big hole that you need the adapter to hold the record in place. If you don't have them then don't worry too much about using those adapters
 
In fact most 7" singles have a normal-sized hole. The only singles that you'll find with the larger hole are secondhand singles that at some point in their life were used in a jukebox...

That might be the case outside North America but, the large hole was prevalent here most of the life of the 7" single A.K.A. the 45. In point of fact a 7" single here with the smaller hole is worth more when being sold. This is especially true if the record has "For Promotional use only" stamped on the printed label.
 
one of these wonderful things that I have so many of:
 
thanks guys.
