Some of the best music was made in the old days, back before cassette tapes had even been invented. That’s why your folks still have that huge box of LPs in the basement – even if they can’t listen to them anymore because all the turntables around the house are broken, or missing an essential piece that you can’t buy separately.

If you’re thinking about buying an entirely new record player, you should take a good look at the Crosley Revolution Turntable.

For starters, its compact, lightweight ABS construction and integrated handle allow you to carry it pretty much anywhere you go – yet includes the same quality components of its bigger brothers, such as a belt driven turntable mechanism, manual tonearm and a diamond stylus needle.

It is the first turntable with a built-in FM transmitter that allows it to pair with just about any FM radio for cordless, clear sound. It is also the first battery-powered (6 x AA) Crosley turntable and the first one with a platter smaller than a teacup saucer.

The Crosley Revolution Turntable plays 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records, as well as 7″ & 12″ records, features an auto shut off function and a USB connection for easy analog-to-digital transfer – allowing users to share their music on a variety of devices or rip and edit it with the included software suite.

The Revolution turntable also includes passive audio out, a headphone jack to listen to your tunes without disturbing the neighbors, and a dynamic full range speaker for your full-blown, music-listening enjoyment.

This Crosley Turntable is a true Revolution, and it’s available now at Taylor Gifts for just $149.98!

We’ve always been led to believe that water and electronics don’t mix. Well, the FINIS SwiMP3.1G Waterproof MP3 Player is here to show them all how wrong they were!

Perfect for swimmers, triathletes, surfers, and pretty much anyone involved in water activities, the FINIS SwiMP3.1G is unlike other waterproof MP3 players as it relies on your bones to transmit sound vibrations from your cheekbone to your inner ear — resulting in exceptional sound quality.

The FINIS SwiMP3.1G Waterproof MP3 Player is Windows and Mac compatible, making it easy to drag and drop any MP3 or WMA files directly into its 1GB storage (approx: 240 songs), while also recharging its lithium-ion battery straight from a USB port.

Great for training as it keeps you entertained with your favorite tracks whilst doing laps (and in the water longer), the FINIS SwiMP3.1G Waterproof MP3 Player is available over at Amazon.com (rated 3.5/5 stars from 138 customer reviews) with FREE Super Saver Shipping for $99.99.

Laptops are great, aren’t they? You can travel pretty much anywhere and take your work with you; you can log in to YouTube and watch some funny videos while you’re sitting in the dentist’s waiting room; and you can go out on a sunny day, sit on a park bench all by yourself, and play solitaire ’til your battery runs out (if you feel like it).

But let’s face it, most laptops have crappy built-in speakers! If you ever felt like sharing one of your favorite songs with your friends, you’d only embarrass yourself instead of getting some more heads to bop along with the beat. That’s where the Logitech USB Laptop Speaker Z305 comes in!

This lightweight, portable speaker attaches to virtually any laptop thanks to its easy clip-on design. It features 360-degree sound that projects evenly in all directions — delivering a more immersive listening experience and making your music sound full and clear, regardless of where you go in the room.

The Logitech USB Laptop Speaker Z305 is Windows and Mac compatible and requires no additional software or AC power supply; a single USB connection provides the speaker with digital audio AND power. This same USB cord can be stored neatly into the back of the speaker when not in use thanks to the built-in cable storage.

Including a soft protective case and currently rated 4.5 out of 5 stars from 157 customer reviews at Amazon.com, the Logitech USB Laptop Speaker Z305 is available now with FREE shipping for $39.99.
