We had a great turn out for the last contest! I told you PMA is having 4 contest this month and this second one is pretty cool. But this week, there can only be one winner.
This week PMA is giving away Ion Portable USB Turntable, Radiohead, Vampire Weekend, & Fleet Foxes on Vinyl!




Play your records and make your music mobile, anywhere, with Portable USB Turntable! This innovative, portable record player has a convenient USB computer jack enabling you to connect your Mac or PC and transfer your music. You can also connect other music sources and turn them into MP3s. Once on your computer, you can listen, make custom playlists, record it to CD and transfer it to your iPod or MP3 player. The music from your records can be with you wherever you go! The Portable USB Turntable runs on wall power using the included AC adapter, or batteries for total mobility. It has a built-in speaker for listening to your records and monitoring your recordings. Also included is a line input jack so you can connect other music sources such as cassette decks, and turn your other music into MP3s. EZ Vinyl Converter software provides an easy way to transfer your music and import it into your iTunes music library. PC users can download a free version of EZ Vinyl Converter with Gracenote(r) MusicID technology, which automatically adds album, artist, and song information!

WoW … not world of warcraft or anything else… just simply the expression of my feelings… GIVE IT TO ME, BABY!
That would be a great way to start my vinyl collection…..
Oy vey! Fantastico! My <3 goes pitter-patter at the sight of this contest.
Excellent! I only have two vinyls so far, but these three would be great new additions!
this is an awesome prize. It;s cool that everyone has a chance at winning, but I also think it might be more fun if there was some sort of challenge to winning, like a music trivia question or finding a rare mp3 on the web, just something to spice it up.
I’ve never owned vinyls before… but with these, I’d love to start a collection!
This is amazing!
the amarican dream: “from rags to riches”
my dream: “from dishwasher to usb-turntabler”
Sweet.

omggggggggggggggg. this would seriously be the best gift anyone could ever give me ever. my dad has 5000+records that he wants to transfer to mp3s and i could surprise him with this, plus those are my 3 favorite records from the year. you owe me for all those late night conversations when i entertain you. PLEASE?

I couldn’t have picked better albums to make vinyl
Fleet Foxes, Vampire Weekend and Radiohead in vinyl? For free? Wet dream, I guess.
Three of the best albums to get your record collection started =-D
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford Comma? Well Videotapes, White Winter Hymnals and A-Punks on vinyl sure have me throwing grammar to the wind…
