colin filled me in on this....and i know r.j., it's belt-driven. oh boo...i guess i can't be q-bert now.

everytime i walked through urban outfitters (sorry dee, only in t.dot) i saw this turntable. it was a turntable - no biggie. i had no clue though. i had no clue that it was a USB turntable....a USB turntable capable of turning anything on vinyl into mp3 format.

that's wildstyle, right there.
werd.

my birth in the early 80s places me at a unique position. although i missed the 8-track era, i have experienced the vinyl and audio cassette era (remember the hissing and no rewind buttons on walkmans?)...not to mention the genesis of the compact disc. all very cool mediums. as i'm aging however, i have this perception that old is good. i have a pretty stocked cd collection but i wanna have a vinyl library. it can get costly but it's an investment from my point of view.

there's just something about vinyl...it's the static yet clear sounds...it's the album art and sleeves fullsize. it's the delicate care put forth toward storing and caring for a record. it's everything. where some of us place books we've read as trophies on our bookshelves, i put my music on the same pedestal. my dream to start building on a vinyl library will be reality when i get back from the trip and this turntable bridges the gap between the past and future.

cop your ion USB turntable now...it's mac-compatible too.
i need this in my life.

    heck, so what if it doesn't iron it's t-shirts. do you...oh wait...chalk one up for rj.

    but...its mac compatible. rj is not mac compatible.

    guess this turntable is the winner.
