I'm digitizing my record collection until they find a cure for unbearable audiophilia.Īs an audiophile, people hate me. Want more great deals? Sign up for our Daily Digest emails! One Turn Table, No Microphones For comparison's sake, the 16GB, Wi-Fi-only iPad 2 sells for $499.You missed it! But Today's Woot is waiting! 3: In honor of Steve Jobs' passing, this seems appropriate: AT&T has the first-generation 64GB iPad Wi-Fi + 3G for $479.99 shipped-just about the lowest price ever on the top-end iPad 1. The only requirement for entry: your e-mail address. The prize: a free 50GB Dropbox account for life. 2: From now through my birthday, October 13, my buds at AppSumo are holding a contest. I realize that's not actually a bonus deal, just something I've been meaning to mention. I've test-tapped a bunch of these, and they're all terrible. You?īonus deal: Beware cheap tablets! I'll talk more about this in the future, but if you see a 7-inch, no-brand Android tablet selling for under $100, steer clear. For 40 bucks and a few hours of my time, I can make my vinyl past live again. So this is not a great solution for tech-challenged users.Įven so, I probably have 50 old albums collecting dust, and many of them (early Police, nearly every Bill Cosby album) I never got around to replacing with MP3s. And from what I've read about the VS-2002-SPK, the included manual is barely worth the paper it's printed on. Instead, you get freeware favorite Audacity-a great program, but not particularly user-friendly. A little more automation would be great, and I reckon there's software out there that'll provide it-but it's not included here. The actual process of converting albums into MP3s can be complicated, as you have to manually break one long recording into individual files-or start and stop the LP (and the recording software) after each track. It features RCA-out jacks for connecting to your stereo, a USB port for connecting to your PC or Mac, and built-in speakers for listening to your tunes old-school. In the past (and, in some cases, the present), these gizmos sold for around $100, but has the Vibe Sound VS-2002-SPK USB turntable for $32.99. In other words, a record player that feeds audio not just to your stereo, but also to your PC.
Whatever the case, you need a USB turntable.
Are you sitting on a stack of LP and/or 45 records? Or maybe you've gotten swept up in vinyl's resurgence, and you're looking for a way to convert some new platters to a more mobile format.
