ION Audio has shipped its one millionth USB turntable.

ION’s USB turntables let you convert the music on vinyl records to digital files on a computer.

ION Audio USB turntables come software that lets you digitize tracks from vinyl directly to iTunes, where it can be played as an MP3 file, transferred to an iPod or recorded to CD.

ION is also offering several varations on the USB turntable idea:

• LP DOCK features direct transfer to iPod via a built-in Universal Dock;
• iPTUSB is a portable, battery-powered unit with a built-in speaker for mobile vinyl conversion; and
• LP 2 CD is a turntable that transfers vinyl recordings directly to CD without requiring a computer.

“People are taking their old vinyl out of the basement and listening to it on their iPod, enjoying it once again,” said Jack O’Donnell, ION Audio president and CEO. “We are pleased to be a part of this movement and we plan to bring even more digital conversion technology to the marketplace.”

ION Audio also offers a range of devices for digitizing other legacy media:

• TAPE 2 PC is a dual cassette deck that converts audio on cassette tapes to MP3 via a USB-connected Mac or PC.
• VCR 2 PC eliminates the wasted time and confusion of digging through old home movie tapes, and provides users with a friendly tool for converting VHS tapes to digital computer files.

Numark turntable performance, USB connectivity and the convenience of the iPod are fused together so users can easily transfer old vinyl collections to an iPod. The included software bundle archives records directly to the user’s iTunes Library for transfer to CD or any MP3 player. The software also reduces noisy pops and clicks inherent on some old vinyl recordings.

Owners of iPod (Classic or 5th generation) and iPod nano (2nd or 3rd generation) can record from vinyl directly to an iPod without a computer. People with other iPod models can transfer captured vinyl recordings to their iPod by using iTunes to transfer the tracks after recording.

TTi’s integrated Line-level output allows quick, easy connection and instant playback from an iPod or vinyl record. Included ±10 percent pitch control enables adjustment of playback speed. 33 and 45 RPM playback speeds are supported, and 78 RPM recording is possible using the included software. Line-level outputs also enable easy connection to home AV Receivers, without the need for a Phono input on the receiver, making TTi a great match for home stereo setups or a home office.

The TTi includes EZ Vinyl Converter 2 (PC) and EZ Audio Converter (Mac), the simplest way to record and convert vinyl directly to iTunes. This amazing new software features Gracenote MusicID technology, which analyzes your vinyl recordings and automatically retrieves album, artist and song information from the Internet. EZ Audio Converter also enables easy entering of track information. EZ Vinyl Converter 2 and EZ Audio Converter software help anyone digitally archive their record collection with just a few mouse clicks.
