I have loads of 80's music. I left school in 89. My record collection is mostly picture disks and special editions from 1986 - 1995. I have far more on CD. Love searching around charity shops and discount stores for bargain CDs. 60's and 80's are my favourite decades.
I did read in a electronics catalogue about a turntable with built in amp that plugs in to usb.

Found it on a US site.

I still can't believe I had not made copies. It's not like I don't know better or have enough drives. I have 2 backup copies now. lol

`60's & `80's are my two fave periods, too!! `90's weren't bad, either, but it seems things were on the decline by then.
Yeah, I bought one of those USB turntables once, I didn't like it. Mostly because it didn't come with a dust cover!! I bought a McLelland pre-amp on eBay a few years ago and it uses a USB connection, and you can plug the RCA's from you're turntable straight into it! It's the size of two decks of cards stacked on top of each other! Works with electricity or phantom power! I record straight from the turntable to a hard drive!!
My collection goes back to around 135 years ago.
