SeaGrand's GENESOUND rips vinyl to CD / MP3

by Darren Murph, posted Feb 8th 2007 at 1:19AM

SeaGrand isn't exactly a well-known brand here in the US, but the company known for crafting nifty devices to rip one musical format to another is dropping one in for the retro crowd. Whether you've got 33s or 45s, SeaGrand's forthcoming GENESOUND should make ripping vinyl to MP3 a lesson in simplicity, and if you're stuck back in the days of compact disc, it'll burn to CD for you as well. The mini-system includes a pair of stereo speakers, brushed aluminum face, a hint of vintage styling, headphone out, CD / LP playback, and there's even USB / SD ports to carry your freshly ripped tunes on flash media. As expected, there's no word on how much this useful invention will run you, but folks in Japan can start ripping through that vinyl collection (and reminiscing about the days of DRM-free music) later this month.

Niiiiice.
I was about to get that Numark LP2 recording kit, but this might be better suited for me.
Really would like to know when the U.S. gets it, or some variation of it.
Burning it straight to CD is cherry, but the SD card option is ridiculust. Still might need some software to clean it up a bit.

This is silly. I have the Ion USB turntable and it comes with Audacity on CD and instructions on how to use it. It's basically a turntable with a built-in USB sound card. And any turntable can use many USB sound card adapters.

True, but this doesn't need to be next to my computer.

Advantage - this.
