| NEW YORK December 24, 2007 - Vinyl records are not dead, they just need help finding the 21st century. There's a wave of under-$200 tunrtables that connect to your computer so you can copy your 45's and LPs to your hard drive. From there, the music can go into your MP3 player and, if your computer can make CDs, to play in your car or home CD player.
The best of bunch is the new ION Adio iT-TUSB05 which sells for about $150 bucks and is available from Urban Outfitters, Costco and amazon.com. The ION is easy to use. Simply connect it to your USB port and then fire up the software included with your purchase. Vinyl still lives!
