USB Turntable - turn vinyl records into digital files
It’s finally here - the opportunity to rip all of my mom’s vinyl record collection into digital files, the USB connected digital turntable. I’ve been hounding my mother to download 
the mp3s of her favorite albums for years, since they are so easily damaged by heat and sun, it just makes sense to download a backup. Well now she is not going to have to download at all.
I am getting this USB turntable and setting her up to rip her albums herself. I know she will enjoy the projects, because it will be a trip down memory lane just going through all of her old albums. I’ve been wanting something like this for years, and I’ve had many friends ask me about ways to import their vinyl records, and I always suggested just getting a rca to 1/8th inch adapter and plug into the soundcard on the computer. This works okay for some people, but the sound quality can be pretty crappy, especially if you have an on board sound card. This new USB turntable takes care of the audio and is an easy solution.

They also have a retro looking unit that can record vinyl and tapes to CDs all in one unit.
