Plug-And-Play Turntables Drop The Needle On Even More Nerdiness
Earlier this week, the New York Times had a piece on USB turntables, which hook right into a computer’s USB port to start the process of vinyl-to-MP3 conversion. It was a pretty straightforward product review, but it got us wondering if we shouldn’t plunk down the $200 to start moving our vinyl library onto our hard drives (you wouldn’t believe the number of freestyle maxi-singles that we have yet to own in digital form). If you have one of these devices, let us know in the comments whether they’re worth the trouble–and the manual-reading, because sometimes tech writing can be damn-near impenetrable.
