LP 2 CD

Don’t throw those vinyl records (or LPs)! – yet.  I know that those vinyl records are a thing of the past and they just eat up a lot of space in your house.  Besides, nobody uses vinyl records anymore.  Just imagine bringing all your records with you to work, and just how do you think can you play it in your car?

Now, you can restore and transfer your records into a compact disc (CD).  The LP 2 CD directly converts all those old vinyl records to CD in WAV or MP3 format, without connecting to a computer.  You can also transfer all those music directly to your computer, iPod or any MP3 player, since it comes with a USB audio interface which is PC and MAC compatible.  Another feature of the LP 2 CD is its audacity audio editing software which eliminates clicks and noise from worn records.

And for those aspiring DJs out there, you can make your own custom mix CDs with LP 2 CD.

Its price ranging from $349.99 to $399.99.
