We're dedicated to the latest, smartest, easiest and coolest - that's why we just had to have the LP-to-USB unit. Although, because the LP-to-USB is "all that", they don't seem to be staying on our shelves for very long - this piece of ET (Entertainment Technology) is hot!
In fact, while we're using acronyms, the LP-to-USB should really be called the A.E.I.O.U., that's "All Entertainment In One Unit".
It may not be the first vinyl to mp3 conversion you've seen – but it's certainly the smartest and the easiest! This is because the LP-to-USB directly converts your favourite records direct to MP3 format on the fly and stores the files straight to USB, SD or MMC. Therefore, NO complicated software involved! You press record and store! Cool!
How about converting your standard audio CDs to MP3 format? Yep! Same again – you just hit record and store. You can do a whole CD in one hit, or just convert the songs you like from your collection, and have them all stored on your thumb drive or media card - ready to be played on your computer or for copying to your iPod / MP3 player. And at the risk of sounding like a broken record - cool again!
The LP-to-USB is a record player (featuring a 3 speed turntable for 33s, 45s and 78s), standard audio CD player, MP3 CD player and AM / FM radio receiver. It also allows playback of MP3 / WMA files via USB, SD card or MMC card. There's no need to have a house full of different devices - LP-to-USB does it all (did we mention - NO complicated software?!). Even your parents will be able to handle it.
For a sound investment, get the LP-to-USB – it's the ultimate A.E.I.O.U!
