Just purchased a *Ion Phonograph to USB. It comes with Software. It is great!!! It let's you convert all your old vinyl records to Digital. It will even import it into iTunes for you seamlessly. It is a no hassle solution to extending the life of your music for lots of years. I converted a lot of old 45 rpm's from my dad's record company. The masters are gone. So they live on in the digital world. You can also record 78 rpm records. The way they do it, is that you record it at 45 rpm and the software pushes it up to the 78 rpm speed electronically. All this for about one hundred dollars.

I thought the quality was going to suck! What a surprise when I found it quite good. Surprise, surprise.

How many records can you convert at one time? I have so many 45's and 78's that I would be there for years doing it.

One side of a 45 rpm at a time. One side of a 33 rpm at a time. The software let's you go track-to-track on the 33 rpms. It then imports them into iTunes. The sound quality is good. It is not set a stack and come back later to a finished job. It requires attention through the process. It is well worth the effort.
