It's a great, convenient solution to be sure, but I haven't seen any of these that output greater than 160 kbps. Kinda defeats the purpose of transferring high quality vinyl. I guess it's better than nothing, but you'd be better off recording directly into a sound card or mixer and recording that was with something like Audacity.

Maybe I'm overly cynical, but am I the only one thinking "who fucking cares?" Anyone with any real desire for this kind of product has already gone down to Radio Shack and gotten a $2 cable to pipe their old turntables into their PC's line in.

Not overly cynical at all - in fact I'd agree, however the majority of people who read MSNBC probably haven't a clue, so my guess is this is designed more the "vinyl enthusiast" as opposed to the "DJ vinyl enthusiast."
Am I mistaken, or didn't the NYTimes do a story on direct-to-MP3 turntables like 2 years ago? I'm pretty sure there's a David Pogue video of it somewhere...
