As a teenager I had a considerable vinyl collection which has been depleted over time by trade-offs for books etc... with friends, lovers & other strangers. However, I still have a decent 33 LP collection that I am transferring to mp3 format with this gizmo:
Ion USB Turntable

And no I don't get a % of their sales - I just think that it's a great product for those of us that have hoarded all those lps all these years. Everytime I see a rap DJ use viynl to make that screetching sound it still makes me cringe.
