Numark's TTi turntable transfers vinyl to iPod sans a PC
Sure, there's a smorgasbord of products out there designed to transfer your precious vinyl recordings to a slightly more modern format, but few pack the cool factor that comes bundled in gratis with Numark's TTi. This newfangled turntable not only brings back not-so-fond memories of your second high school prom, but it also boasts an integrated iPod dock, USB interface, a metal platter and pitch control to boot. Besides ripping records directly to your 'Pod, the unit also features a line-level output and comes with versions of EZ Vinyl Converter software for the PC or Mac should you prefer vinyl-to-computer ripping. We know, it's tough to leave the 70s, but the TTi should make the transition somewhat less painstaking when it lands in Q2 for $449. One more angle's waiting after the break.

I was thinking the same thing. What does this have to do with HD? I think there was another story yesterday or a few days back I was thinking the same thing too.

Well, maybe the question presented to Engadget HD should be "This belongs in Engadget HD because ..."

If I'm burning it straight to my ipod, the won't I have to jump through hoops to put it on my Itunes? Seems it would be faster to just rip it to my computer...

Not to mention the fact that you'll want to do some hand correction to eliminate skips and pops as well as trimming the track lengths correctly when ripping from vinyl.
I rip a lot of brand new hardcore records to MP3 so I don't need to pull the record out constantly, and even new unplayed vinyl has errors inherent to an analog process that are easy to correct.
