Spin your vinyl anywhere!
Wouldn't it be cool if you could spin your old vinyl on a take-anywhere turntable with a built-in speaker? With the Portable USB Turntable you can do exactly that but you can also connect it to your computer and convert records into MP3s. Genius!
Add batteries to play unplugged!
This best-of-both-worlds player is ideal for anyone with a record collection and a computer. And if you're reading this and remember Kajagoogoo, that means you. Converting old discs is a snap. Simply load up the idiot-proof software, connect the turntable and throw on a record. Forget about special drivers and mismatched software. It's easier than, er…well, it's easier than putting on a record!

Tweak your songs to perfection!
If you're feeling really nostalgic you can use the Portable USB Turntable to listen to your vinyl the way it was intended. Just plug in the AC adaptor or pop in six D cell batteries and you're set. Granted, the humble platter is essentially a dinosaur format, but there's something unfathomably cool about listening to your records with a portable player, especially if you're out and about. You'll know what we mean the second you slide the stylus on the grooves.
Converting old discs is a doddle!
Whether it's an impromptu spinning sesh or a full-on archiving afternoon, this versatile box of tricks is just the ticket. Just think, you could give an old 12" a spin in the garden, then dash indoors, digitize it and burn off a few CDs. You can even hook up the Portable USB Turntable to a fancy pants stereo and have a full-on vinyl party. All right? You know it!
Audio connections and more
It makes no difference if you're listening to ancient 78s, spinning disco 12"s or digitizing Frankie Avalon 45s, this nifty collision of hi-tech and old school is guaranteed to bring the memories flooding back, So hurry up and get ordering - that ELO album won't convert itself and those Squeeze singles are just itching to be spun all over again.

Bought one of these for my girlfriend for xmas. It is without doubt the best present I have ever got anyone. It looks beautiful, it creates a fantastically nostalgic sound from the single cone built in speaker, and it's completely portable! Amazing for 69 quid too. GET ONE NOW!!
