Convert Your LPs to MP3s

Do you have old records laying around that you would love to load to your iPod, but don’t know how? Check out the LP-to-MP3 Converter from Hammacher Schlemmer. The first of its kind, this belt-driven turntable plugs into your computer via USB, plays, converts, and saves your vinyl LPs to MP3 format for playback on an iPod, or other MP3 device, allowing you to take your favorite out-of-print music recordings anywhere you go without risk. In addition to providing high-speed vinyl audio conversion to MP3, the turntable plays LPs at 33 1/3 and 45 rpm speeds (adapter included), and its adjustable anti-skating control provides increased stereo balancing.

Includes 1/8" RCA output and cable for connection to a stereo system equipped with either a CD or AUX input. Protected by a dust cover, the system includes recording and cleaning software (PC/Mac) for the removal of scratches, hisses, and pops, but will operate with any software that supports USB audio input sound cards. $189.95 www.hammacher.com
