Vinyl may have staged a bit of a comeback but digital music is much handier when out and about.

So unless you want to shell out for a subscription to a music service, or buy your tracks all over again, what are vinyl fans to do? Ion has the answer: a USB turntable and cassette player.

The compact player not only deals with your old cassettes and records, with a built-in speaker and headphone output to choose from, but it will also convert them into digital files over USB.

It’s battery-powered for travelling (if you feel the urge to take your vinyl on a road trip), or you can use the included wall adapter. And it’s compact, so it can go (almost) anywhere.
