Numark offers portable vinyl record archiving system
Numark on Thursday introduced the PT-01USB, a portable vinyl record archiving system. Pricing was not announced.
The PT-01USB is battery-powered (it can also be powered using an AC adapter) and connects to a Macintosh or Windows PC using USB 2.0. It features a protective dustcover and integrated carrying handle, and is designed for portability.
Software included with the device enables you to automatically rip audio from a vinyl record to MP3 file; EZ Audio Creator 2 is the Mac software. Audacity is also included, to help reduce the effects of clicks, pops and other noise in tracks.
The device features a belt-drive motor and can operate at 33, 45 and 78 RPM. A built-in speaker lets you monitor your recordings, and you can adjust pitch control up or down up to 10 percent. The device also sports RCA line and headphone outputs, so you can connect it to a sound system if you want.

Nice. I have a few hundred Lp's, and a too damn expensive Technics 1200, but I may have to break down and buy one of these babies as I have been wanting to digitize for a while ( Oh, I also have a 1.5 Tb external HD which I need to fill up somehow, did I mention I like pricey toys?)
ps the track did not play for me.
Yeah - there seems to be something wrong. I'll try a re-embed.
Similar devoces are avalable at Best Buy in the $%150 price range, i believe, but what makes theis one Special is that it's battery poered and portable.
