It’s been a really long time since I’ve spied an album in a record store. But that doesn’t mean I still don’t have a killer collection of 80’s and 90’s records locked away in my basement. While re-purchasing all that music could be an easier way to move those tunes to my computer – there’s a cheaper solution for the do it yourselfer. Woot! has this Ion USB turntable on sale today only for $59. The player connects via USB to your computer and turns records into MP3 files. A suite of software is included and PC users can download a free version of EZ Vinyl Converter to automatically add album, artist and song information. Supports 33 1/3 and 45 RPM settings.

Thanks Wayne! I was looking at this item at ThinkGeek and Amazon last night! The early bird does get the worm – I ordered one for our mutual friend, so don't say anything. As for me, I can't imagine porting over 7000 LPs; that's like asking me to label my unmarked VHS tapes.

Yeah I'm way too lazy to swap a bunch of albums onto a USB turntable – I'd probably give up and buy them again in iTunes..
