Re: [bomp] What do you guys think of this?

The point of the USB turntable is to be able to get your vinyl onto your computer, not necessarily to play it back on your stereo.  I figured the idea was to get the stuff in your computer's music library, maybe to put it on an iPod, or to throw it into a podcast.  

Remember, you're not being forced to rip stuff to MP3 when you take it in from a USB turntable.  You can also export as WAV files or various other file formats.  Of course, files with better sound quality almost always take up more disk space.
