Not only will this device play your old vinyl records, connect it to a laptop and the built in software will convert the recording into a digital file for later use.
Once this has been done, the original record can then be stored away for safe keeping, while the actually recording can be used as an mp3 file sent to friends etc.
These are the features of the record to digital converter system:
The belt-driven turntable has an automatic-return tone arm with cue lever and a diamond stylus that faithfully reproduces sound through integrated 8-watt stereo speakers. Its sturdy wood cabinet has a carrying handle and removable lid and is protected by black vinyl skin and composite corner covers. It plays 33, 45 or 78-rpm records, has an auxiliary jack for connecting an iPod, and a tone dial control. Includes USB cable and recording software for Windows 7, Vista, XP or Mac for breaking albums into individual tracks and removing scratches, hisses, and pops. Plugs into AC. 17″ W x 7″ H x 12″ D. (12 lbs.)
