I bought one of these turntables for my Dad last year, he has hundreds of old soul & motown records that he's hoarded in the attic for years and refuses to part with. I paid the extra to have the iPod dock rather than the standard ION USB turntable because my Dad is a bit clueless when it comes to the computer but he does love his iPod Touch, so I thought I'd cut out the middle man and save him some hassle.
He's managed to record a number of his favourite records onto his iPod so far, and he even hooked it up to his computer and loaded the software successfully! (I'll be honest, I was amazed), when they switched from PC to Mac it even made that transition successfully, it must be pretty easy to use or he'd have given up by now! He's also managed to hook it up to his stereo which is great as he's always loved listen to vinyl but has been unable to do since my darling brother commandeered their old hi-fi & turntable when he moved out about 10 years ago! All-in-all a great little unit. I think the real-time recording is a bit tedious but it has breathed new life into an otherwise obsolete record collection.
