I was just browsing around Alpharat’s great blog Kit Burns was framed! and came across his post on the iTTUSB. Like Alpharat, I have a crate of vinyl collecting dust in the basement that is in desperate need of digital liberation. I had considered ways of making this happen in the past but all were too expensive, or too much work. “A record player with a USB connection is what I need!” I thought on many an occasion.
