Saw this and thought it would be really useful to a load of people here, especially as cheap as it is.
Check out the youtube video embedded on the site for full details, but basically, its a box with fully self-contained software to convert tapes, vinyls and cd's to digital direct via usb with programs to polish up the sound (if the tape etc. is old and worn out) and software to remix them, and it is compatible with itunes for quick transfer.
It's also only 50 quid, so to me i thought it looked a bargain, so thought i'd share it.

^^^ Show off! I think you have the only card being sold with a ground and I guess an RIAA pre-amp.
This will be great for those DJs looking to go digital but don't have a high end sound card. In a similar vein, I think it is Numark who do a turntable that actually has a usb connection, so you hook it straight into the pc.

It's just a Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro with the external I/O box... Best sound card for the money I thought...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_X-Fi
(offering phono with preamp inputs for turntables, high-impedance input for guitars, 0.25-inch mic input, headphone output, line-in, and full size MIDI I/O, as well as optical and RCA Coaxial digital inputs and outputs), and remote control.
I dont use the remote control :p

Ahhh, I used to have the SB Live! (still do, its in my linux box). The remote was always dead handy, I had an app that let me program the remote to match keys on the keyboard and I used it to remote hit record when recording guitar etc. SB make some good cards, although they are more aimed at gamers/consumer markets
