Best Answer

A phonograph turntable that is used to convert tracks on vinyl records into a digital format such as CD audio or MP3. With a built-in phono preamp and analog-to-digital converter, the USB turntable converts the cartridge's analog signal to digital PCM and sends it to the computer via USB. Software in the computer converts the PCM into the required format.

USB turntables allow owners of vinyl records to convert their collections to digital form, playable on computers, mp3 players and other devices. These turntables plug in to a USB slot on a computer or USB hub instead of speakers.

A "turntable" is a device for playing LP (long playing) discs. LP's were the standard for all recordings until replaced by cassettes and later on, CD's. Many modern systems today still incorporate LP turntables as many LP recordings still exist.
