You might not be buying many vinyl records nowadays, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t want to rip the tracks within and pop them into a digital format, right? The NV-CR001U has been designed to do that just, and not only will it allow you to rip your vinyl records to your PC, it can also handle cassette tapes, which is slightly closer to the current era that we live in. The Record Mate LP software bundled with the device will allow you to record the songs into various digital formats such as MP3, WAV or WMA, which should be good enough for your digital consumption.
