From vinyl to mp3 via USB.

June 4, 2007

Back in my high school years, I used to be a mobile DJ. I played mostly vinyl records on two Technics 1200 turntables (the king of turntables). I also carried a CD player for perhaps 10% of the time where a song was not available in vinyl. Fast-forward about 10 years to the present and I am left with boxes full of vinyl records that I want to convert to mp3s. Now, more than ever, it is necessary to get rid of them because of the price per square foot of storage space in California is very expensive. It’s been on my TODO list for years to throw these records (or sell them if there is a market for ‘em) after I have converted them into MP3s.

The ionAudio Vinyl Recording USB Turntable will help me do just this for about $150. I will be blogging about this experience in the coming weeks. After my vinyl is converted, the only analog music under my possession would be my audio tapes. Those will be next.
