From Vinyl to MP3

Long before there were MP3 files, CDs, cassettes, and even 8-tracks, there was the "original" vinyl album. For those of you that still have a vinyl albums laying around, Ion has created the first USB turntable to let you convert them to CD or MP3 files.

The first USB turntable that lets you convert your old vinyl collection directly to CD or MP3, the Ion Audio iTTUSB is a must for people who don't want to deal with clumsy adapters or mismatched software when transferring formats. Requiring no special drivers, the turntable comes with Audacity, a recording application that works with both PCs and Macs, as well a trial version of Bias Soundsoap 2 to clean and restore vinyl recordings. As an alternative, the turntable also works with any other software that supports USB audio input sound cards. Once connected, the turntable transfers both 33-1/3 rpm albums and 45 rpm singles to digital formats in mere minutes.

The Ion Turntable is available at Amazon.com.
