I know this crazy guy who has been collecting records for over 40 years and he's got a Manhattan Apt FULL of them - I'm talking thousands of records.

strangely enough, there is a market for this and because it has an ipod dock, it is visually appealing to some.]]>Jan 19th 2008 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/
Second, I have lots of vinyl, and see this as a complete waste of time and money. If you do own vinyl and subscribe to the digital media age you have already found a way to turn your love for analog into soul crushing mp3. This is a complete gimmick, just like iPod turntables. I find solace in knowing it will die a slow, excruciating death.]]>Jan 19th 2008 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/
You can simply hook a regular turntable up to a computer, but you have to shop around a bit for audio software as well as a mixer. ]]>Jan 19th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/
Besides, I really dislike any audio accessory that is catered to the iPod. iPod clocks, iPod turntables, iPod cars...it's just weird. I own a 'pod, I use it, but in a fire I'd grab my Technics and PC before I grabbed the 'pod.]]>Jan 19th 2008 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Get a good preamp and capture device for your PC and you're all set.]]>Jan 19th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/
Try something like this...

Or for a few bucks less, this...

Either one would give you the interface you need between your turntable and your Mac.]]>Jan 19th 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/I HATE typing all this stuff...]]>Apr 11th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/

and for $450???

It is not like this is a use-every-day item. You would theoretically rip your albums and then.. let it collect dust in the corner?]]>Jan 19th 2008 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/That's awesome!

I actually just paid a company to do this for me....

They did a pretty good job, but this seems like a novelty that I'd
still consider buying (stacks of vinyl in the basement....)]]>Jan 19th 2008 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/

Well it isn't mentioned whether there could be a direct speaker connection, but you could sure play vinyls with it, along with some other system.]]>Jan 19th 2008 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.numark.com/ttusb It is only worth for ripping your music down to the computer and nothing else really. You use Audacity to record and to change the pitch after you record your records at 45 back to 33 1/3. Saves time for archiving records. So far I've ripped about 500 of my records and 1500 to go. This new one I wouldn't even consider it, I'd buy a Technics 1200 MK2 instead.]]>Jan 19th 2008 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/

Don't you realize that there are some albums on vinyl that are so old that there is no way to reproduce them without a device like this? I can keep my entire music collection on a single laptop computer - or hard drive. That's never going to be obsoleted.]]>Jan 19th 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/

Just because I rip my vinyls to .mp3 doesn't mean I'm giving up my passion for analog, it just means I can listen to my vinyl collection while commuting about campus. I don't really want to carry a turn table on my back just to listen to my vinyl collection while I'm not at home.]]>Jan 19th 2008 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 19th 2008 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 20th 2008 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 20th 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 20th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 20th 2008 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/numarks-tti-turntable-transfers-vinyl-to-ipod-sans-a-pc/Jan 21st 2008 5:53AM
