I still have my old Kenwood turntable.  I've got 400+ vinyls.  For those 
that I can find either cd or other digital technology, I've figured it 
was worth my time to simply repurchase them in the new format.  I do 
have a good number of albums from small local bands that never made it 
beyond the vinyl.  Those I am in the process of converting.

The usb turntables I've seen have not gotten very good reviews.
