While in college I worked as a DJ. My collection of old 12″ records is nothing short of awesome. Now that everything has migrated to digital – I’m left with 15 milk crates of albums I never listen to. Now there’s a solution from Numark that looks both cool and affordable.

It’s the Numark TTi USB Turntable with iPod Dock. The TTi turntable comes with EZ Vinyl Converter 2 (PC) and EZ Audio Converter (MAC) two of the simplest ways to record and convert vinyl directly to iTunes or your iPod. EZ Vinyl Converter 2 features Gracenote MusicID technology which analyzes your vinyl and automatically retrieves album artist and song information for you. EZ Audio Converter lets you easily enter track information. On Mac or PC you can now digitally archive your collection to CD or MP3 in just a few mouse clicks.

The TTi turntable’s integrated line-level output allows quick easy connection to any mixer for instant playback from your iPod or vinyl records and 10% pitch control is included to enable adjustment of playback speed.. What’s cool about this solution is the all-in-one design. Slip your iPod into the dock and record away! Price is $299 and you can order starting 8-11-2008 via the link below.
