OT: Vinyl LPs to MP3 transfer

And remember: There are very few "mp3 only players" in existence. 90% of all digital players will play mp3, wav, flac, aac(Apple), etc. So if you have the space on your player(32GB or more), you can store higher quality than mp3 lossy of quite a few tracks.

OT: Mouses

off EBay which look almost identical to the Apple one that came with my Mac Mini. They do Bluetooth and the usual USB dongle via a switch. Quality isn’t as good as Apple but is as good as, say, a Logitech in terms of ‘hand feel’. Oh, they are rechargeable- you plug them into ...
