The search to find something to help you turn your dad's old vinyl gems into computer/iPod-ready tunes is over. Sony's PS-LX300USB turntable allows you to transfer the music from any record onto your portable music player or PC. Old school becomes new with this USB stereo turntable. You'll be enjoying your classic vinyl albums on your modern hi-fi system in no time, or easily transfer the sound to your PC or portable music player.

Using the USB connection, you can import all your music into your computer and create MP3 files to store on a PC or bring along with you on your favorite portable player. The supplied Audio Studio software makes it easy for anyone to archive their music from vinyl, optimize the sound, and store them as files on their PC. The PS-LX300USB USB turntable is also a fully functional turntable that can connect to your current system and playback your vinyl albums using the internal amplifier for systems that may not have a "phono" input.

The turntable only weighs 6 pounds, so although it might be a bit bigger than the iPod you're used to carrying, it won't be too much of a bother to take with you whenver you might need it, like to a party or to your girlfriend's house. As an extra perk, it comes with a handy dust cover to keep it clean and ready for use at a moment's notice. Buying the turntable won't break the bank--it's a steal at around $150.
