Would you like your entire record collection on MP3? Would it be nice to listen to all those rare LP albums you own right on your iPod? It is easier than before with the LP-to-MP3 converter. A simple way to convert LP records into MP3s.
There is different software available that will allow you to do that, but Hammacher Schlemmer has created an actual turntable that does so. It easily connects to your laptop or desktop for easy conversion of your favorite records, and simple backup of your priceless collection. In case something ever happens, your precious music will be on your hard drive for safekeeping.
Think about it…your out-of-print Frank Sinatra collection, old Misfits singles, Lenny Bruce comedy, or some rare Jazz albums can be savored forever and moved into your iPod or other MP3 players.
The LP-to-MP3 converter is priced at $189.95 but is also a working turntable by itself. It will work both with Windows and Macs.

This would make a great gift for any music lover with a set of LP’s in their collection. What a great idea! I wonder if the software that comes with it would help you improve sound quality?
Oh wait, I’ve heard that part of the magic of LP’s are the scratchiness. I guess I’m not a true audiophile. But thank you for blogging about this because my husband is, and would love one!

Hi Neece, glad to see you again.
I have many friends that have argued with me continuously that the sound of a record cannot be matched. At least this converter would still give them the sound they love plus the mobility of today’s media players.
