Play those old 45’s via your laptop

by David Allen on Sunday, May 20th, 2007

I wonder how many people still have collections of old 45 vinyl records? It must run into thousands, yet how of them actually have the equipment to play then on.

At last there is a player that will allow those people to transfer the old 45 records onto a laptop and from there save the recordings into the mp3 format that can then be transferred onto your favorite digital player, or if you like the discs thing you can always produce a CD of all those favorites.

    The Ion Turntable is a great little product. My grandmother wanted to convert a few hundred records into CDs, and I wanted to find her something that would be easy enough for a 68 year old to use. This did the trick. I got her setup in under 20 minutes, and she's been cranking out rips ever since!

    We did have some initial quirks when first installing the software, but I got them worked out - Not sure if the issue was with the software or with her laptop, but regardless it got fixed.

    I'd highly recommend this for someone that wants an easy solution to rip records at a VERY reasonable price.
