Now if you have one of those old vinyl records of the Bee Gees or Beatles lying around or any of those golden classics, you might wanna invest in this InstantMusic Ripper that rips vynil and cassette tapes in no time. Now that you have a backup of all that music, it’s time to take out the puncher and punch holes into that vynil and make decorations with it. Or if you have a bunch of cassette tapes…well…recycle it so 1 thousand more can have plastic bottles to use.

The gadget even comes in bundled up softwares for PC and Macs so that your ripped music has a place to go and be managed. Pretty well thought out.

Here are some of the specs:
