Gadget that turns Past to Present

Being part in a world ruled by the latest gizmos and gadgets, most of the things we enjoy right now would be outdated tomorrow and next week. What if we really, really like something from long ago? Something so old that the only available media for it is through an LP? Vinyl discs are considered ancient now and most people who have them are just keeping them for collection. Few people have laser disc players at home now and why would you keep one anyways? This world is now driven by DVDs and MP3s.

This is where this particular gadget comes in: the USB Turntable.



With the looks of it alone, you'd know that it works just like any turntable but the cool thing about this is you can plug a USB cable at the back of it and into your computer. It records the music and converts it to wav! Cool huh? You can easily have them converted to MP3 once you have them on your PC.

This is the specific things you have to find out about this gadget:
