Convert Your Old Vinyl Records to MP3’s: Here is How!
October 17, 2008 by Speakers Fan
We know far too many audio nuts, like us, who have vast collections of old-school records that they have been hording all of these years for one reason or another. And the truth told, sometimes that classic sound that you hear on those older records is both nostalgic, and, well…different than modern day digital recordings or other professional recordings. And, finding some of those tracks at the local music store or online in their original and unchanged format is nearly impossible to do. So the dilemma persists: how the heck do you ever get the actual true recordings of that sweet and vintage record collection of yours into that nifty Ipod Touch that you just bought? Well, we though the same things and lo and behold: we bring you a record to MP3 converter that does just this!

You are not going to believe this when you see it; we didn’t either. It’s actually a newly built, brand new record player that is constructed for one thing and one thing alone: to convert the audio signal on your record player, as it plays your old collection of records, and is simultaneously hooked up to your computer, capturing that classic vinyl sound and converting it to the popular digital MP3 format. A truly unique oddity of its kind that genuinely warrants an entry into our unique gadgets category. They thought of everything here too. It supports USB audio inputs and most sound cards, includes the 1/8” RCA output for a stereo that has CD or AUX inputs. It also plays your LPs at 3133 and 45 rpm, and it has automated stereo balance via built-in anti-skating controls. Well priced online from: $170.00, if you can find one that is currently in stock. Darn these things are popular!
