For $399 from Hammacher Schlemmer or Sharper Image or Brookstone or one of those glitzy gadgets-you-never-knew-you-needed stores, you can get a machine consisting of a turntable that is capable of recording the vinyl (33.3, 45, and 78 rpm) you're playing directly onto a CD, without involving your computer, using any special cables, or doing anything even slightly challenging to a non-geek. You can't do it with a remote, but you CAN record only the songs you really want from the record(s) onto the CD. I saw this thing in the SkyMall catalog on my last flight to D.C. Beats $15K! Kathy
