Portable USB Turntable Lets You Record Vinyl To Your PC

Easily digitize your vinyl collection with this gadget. Good luck finding one, though.

Unless you're a producer who needs to sample records while waiting in airports, we're not sure why you would need to listen to your vinyl while you're on the go, but if you are, or if just want to digitze your vinyl collection, this Japanese-made USB-powered turntable is for you. Able to play at 33, 45, and 78 rpm, the turntable plugs in your USB port, but can also output its sound through its RCA audio jacks. The specs say that it can only work with Windows XP and Vista, however it also says the sound is recorded into Audacity, which leads us to believe it'll run on any computer running the software (but don't take our word for it). It's only $50, but there's a catch: it's only available from Japanese online stores.
