Portable USB Turntable – convert your old vinyl to MP3 in the park…

This ‘ere Portable USB Turntable is a bit of a rum affair. Apparently there’s a group of folks what have a need to convert their classic vinyl albums into MP3 tracks while pottering about in the garden. No really. Maybe there’s a latent demand in people to record in strange places, you know, to give their sounds an airing so to speak. We’re a tad confused. But hey, whatever floats your greenhouse. £89.95 ($180.10 – man is that dollar hurtin’!)  Converting old discs is a doddle. Simply…

Pink Lady Turntable.

There’s a calendar, timer and thermometer buried in that pink-ness somewhere. Around $23.00 Korean style.

Goodbye turntables?

Nice article on the rise and rise of MP3Js. DJs without turntables. Jeux sans frontieres. ‘You are a DJ but you don’t have any bulky gear…everything you need is in your pockets and the size of a cigarette pack. You only have 2 iPods, but they together hold enough music to play for several months straight, 24-7, without a single repeat. You are a mp3j. [sic]’
