I’m not even sure if you can still buy vinyl records today. I am sure there are people out there with huge record collections though that want to listen to the vinyl albums and turn their collection into digital files. Audio-Technica has unveiled its new AT-LP120-USB USB turntable system.

The player connects to a PC via USB and includes Mac and PC software that allows the tracks to be turned into digital format. The turntable supports 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm records and has a speed adjustment and speed indicator.

The mouse isn’t just for computers anymore. Check out the DJ Mouse from DJ Tech. It’s a multi-axis input device that interacts with the Deckadance Dj software and allows you to live out your DJ fantasy without a turntable or any vinyl.

It features a jog wheel that functions as a ’scratch’ controller, while the software will buffer music so you can interact with it and play it back however you like. It even sports some cool blue back-lighting to make you look awesome in the dark.

This Star Trek Enterprise record player was designed from the NCC-1701 version from the new Star Trek movie and uses the saucer section as the turntable, sending your music where no man has gone before. Sadly it’s not real and was just designed to make us all drool, along with 24 other funky looking Enterprises.

There’s an Enterprise on roller skates, a creepy insect Enterprise and more. You’ll never look at the ship in the same way again. Look, I’m a dork and I really want this Enterprise record player. So somebody create it already.

Today Activision announced the DJ Hero Renegade Edition bundle. The bundle includes a peripheral that’s darker with less silver and some premium metal controls and finish. The package also comes with a hardshell carrying case that doubles as a stand and a Jay-Z / Eminem two-CD collection with unreleased tracks and a collectible case designed by Shepard Fairey.

We don’t have anything on price, but the standard edition has a rumored $120 price tag, so you can expect to pay upwards of that.

The 8-Track may be long dead, but it’s not forgotten. Just ask Cheap Trick. It lives on in the hearts and minds of a generation that loved Disco, turntables and Three’s Company.

And while a portable 8-track walkman seems like a ridiculous idea, someone has actually gone and done it. Of course, it isn’t tiny, but it’s probably the most portable 8-track player ever made. At least that we know of.

If you are looking for something different in a turntable, the Crosley CR 40 Mini Turntable is compact and also powerful. It features a stylish hardwood and veneer housing that gives it that perfect retro look. Which you will likely appreciate since you like to spin vinyl.

The CR40 Mini is a 3-speed belt-driven turntable that plays 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM records. It’s got you covered. Discover those old albums again as if for the first time with it’s full-range stereo speakers. It also features a diamond stylus needle and an adjustable tone controller.

Online retailers Gamestop and Amazon have both independently put up listings for the DJ Hero / turntable bundle and both list the same October 27th ship date with a price of $119.99 for Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The PS2 version will cost you either the same or $20 cheaper, depending on which site you go with.

Nothing official from Activision though. We’re thinking the prices and date are accurate. But until Activision confirms it, nobody knows for sure. Looks like four more months until you can get your DJ fix.

Pioneer has made some of the coolest car and home stereos around for a long time. When I was a kid, my day bought a new Pioneer stereo that cost him $500, which was big money back in the day. I promptly broke the turntable trying to scratch and spent a week or so being grounded. Ah, the good old days.

Pioneer is a bigger name in home theater and in-car electronics than home stereos today. The company has announced a slick new double DIN head unit that is the top-of-the-line the company offers. The Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT has a 7-inch motorized touchscreen that covers up the CD/DVD player and radio.

Guitar Hero and Rock Band are a couple of popular music video games, but for some audiophiles rock music isn’t what they want. Some music fans are into hip-hop, electronic and other genres where DJs spin the tunes rather than rock bands jamming live.

Activision is set to add DJ Hero to its music game line up. We have already seen an aftermarket DJ Hero turntable from Numark and Activison has now announced a special edition DJ Hero game is coming.

We’ve seen DJ Hero’s turntable/controller, so here’s the controller from The Ultimate DJ . It looks just like we saw in the screenshot.

It’s a free-spinning, touch-sensitive turntable to the left with five Akai Pro MPC-style drum pad triggers next to a cross-fader. Looks like you’ll be able to upload your own samples with a compatible USB mic as well as use the preloaded ones and you can rotate the mixer to the left if you are a lefty.

If you’ve been paying attention to the gadget world you know that we’ve featured many turntables. Companies are making more and more. Seriously, people are spinning more vinyl. And according to the New York Post, Best Buy is thinking about selling vinyl records in their stores. Yes, it’s hard to believe.

Vinyl albums’ sales are growing. As much as 15 percent in 2007 and 89% more in 2008. The 2009 forecast is even better. And so Best Buy has started a pilot program in 100 stores. The results were good. So good that they are thinking about using as much as eight square feet in each of their stores to sell vinyl records.

Check out this sexy looking automatic turntable from Denon. Available in silver or black, the DP-200USB comes equipped with a USB port and an integrated MP3 encoder that will allow you to transfer all of your vinyl collection to MP3 audio tracks without using a computer.

It’s pretty easy to use. Just need to push a button and it does the rest. The Trans Music Convertor will create MP3 files in 192kbps quality and the Gracenote metadata services will add info to your files. It will cost you about £199.99.

Sure, that AT-AT walker from the other day was awesome and all, but what if you like your AT-AT audio to be a bit more modern? And gilded? Then this one is likely to be more up your alley.

It’s basically an AT-AT toy with an electronic turntable glued to the side and spray painted gold. For some reason a golden Darth Vader and Yoda are riding up front, while the iPod sits in the butt area. Surely this is what happens when the Empire goes all gangsta on your ass. You get a slow drive-by walk-by with this beast poppin a cap in you.

Isn’t it ironic that some of the most beautiful turntables have shown up long after the days of vinyl? If only we had had such beauty back in the days of records. Germany based company, Montegiro, has a new high-end audio system in the form of the new Legno turntable.

It uses bamboo as well as high-grade steel to produce beautiful music from your old vinyl collection. The company decided to use a bamboo chassis because of the wood’s stabilizing and resonance-damping properties. There are also four adjustable and high-grade steel feet with rubber O-rings. The Montegiro’s Legno luxury wooden turntable is now available for a mind-blowing $13,240.

If you love the Earth, you probably recycle. Paper, bottles, cans, your Mac G4… Etsy seller “Pixelthis” created this neat looking clock from an old Mac G4 side panel. It’s simple, minimal, even modern looking.

The Mac G4 clock features a quartz drive movement and runs on a AA battery. The seller also makes clocks from the Apple G4 computer front cover, Old Hitachi Turntables, HDDs, Computer CD drives and more. If you’re a Mac fanboy and can’t live without it, the G4 clock will cost you $59.00.
