[Dixielandjazz] LP/45 direct to your computer via USB

[David Richoux]

Hi all,

I just found out about this new gizmo - looks like maybe a little bit  
quicker way to input & convert your old vinyl to digital/mp3 or  
whatever. I am not sure it would be of a lot of value for those who  
kept their old turntable and also know how to input analogue sounds  
in to their computer. Also, No luck for 78s!

I have no association with, nor am I recommending this product - just  
FYI   The comments on this page are pretty harsh  ;-)
