Convert Vinyl to MP3 the EASY Way Using the Numark TT-USB

When I first started moving my vinyl to my computer, it was several years ago, long before the inception of USB within a turntable. My RCA jacks were plugged in to the back of my audio card (which seemed way ahead of its time then). In most cases I used audio editing software to record. I believe I won't point, I even used Windows Media Recorder...not really sure what I was thinking there.

The biggest drawback of using this method was I was taking an analog signal, inputing it in to my computer, and creating a digital audio file. While no matter what, the audio of vinyl will go from analog to digital at some point, the convenience of turntables today makes things much easier.

The Numark TTUSB turntable was designed to make what I was doing so long ago, a much simpler process. Complete with EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter software, the Numark TT-USB uses a USB 1.1 jack to connect right to your Mac...no RCA output to your computer audio card required.

While this unit would certainly serve as a great beginner belt-driven turntable, the purpose of the USB ultimately seems to be for the vinyl collectors that are looking to preserve their collection on MP3. The TT-USB also rocks a 3.5mm jack. Grab your tape decks and other audio sources, and feed them directly through the TT-USB to convert them to MP3 as well.

I wish I could say I have a way of magically converting all of my vinyl easily, but unfortunately, that's not the case. Vinyl preservation is an art in itself. I'd always recommend listening to the vinyl version of any song, if for nothing else, nostalgia and appreciation. But if you need your tunes in MP3 mode and don't feel like downloading them from Amazon, go for the Numark TT-USB.

Note: The EZ Converter Software required Mac OS 10.4 or higher
