http://www.woot.com/My buddy told me about woot a few days ago. They put up one insanely cheap item each day. It will be gone tomorrow.Anyone have any experience with these? I've wanted a portable for a while but didn't really feel like paying that much for one. Thoughts?

    That's cheap. It's probably no worse than the Numark, and at $50 you're not really out that much, so I say do it.

    Bah! You just beat me to it!

    Woot is great. Never had a problem with them.

    I just realized how sick having a portable that can record to usb can be. Now i can use my laptop and portable to rip songs from friends.

    50 bucks well spent.

    I bought one just to add to the portable rotation. Portables are like golf clubs in the gsame of digging.

    every now and then they have woot-offs where they sell a lot of shit until the supply runs out back to back to back
    they also occasionally have the Woot Bag O'Crap where you pay $5+s&h for a bag filled with some random stuff. They have put PS3s and LCD HDTVs in the BoCs. The stock is super limited of course.

    That's about what it's worth. Good deal, get it.
    Decent portable, but don't buy it only to digitize vinyl, it sounds like shit.
    You an hear the needle on the record, even some resonance from the plastic arm at times.

    My dad bought a similar looking USB table (not sure if it was the same brand) it was complete garbage and very noisy.

    Yeah, there's a reason you don't see any reviews for these usb turntables out there on the web.

    The turntables can often be quite noisy and that all gets picked up. Like Quo said, I wouldn't recommend them for this purpose.

    Real handy to have though, none the less.

    have you seen the woot forum? i looked briefly to see if there was any review regarding this shipping quandary and there is some major herb-y hilariousness to the tune of "i am bummed that i can't scratch on this thing, i thought i might be able to "
    wtf is wrong with people thinking they are buying a cool but dinky portable and hoping to scratch on its belt-driven ass??
    ha!
