lydiawesome Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 http://www.digi-vina.com/2.html Is this thing legit? My best friend saw it on twit.tv/dgw (Daily Gizwiz), which he trusts. It's apparently supposed to take recycled bottles and turn them into playable vinyl records using mp3s. There's no price listed anywhere, but DGW received an email from a listener saying how great this product was. It seems like a joke and too crazy/strange/under the radar to be true, so I'm asking my most informed (recordwise) peeps. Sorry if someone already posted this.

xjustinxschwierx Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 nothing on that website works to show this alleged demonstration...for me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I don't doubt you could turn recycled bottles in to vinyl but this is bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think it'd take a few more steps then you can do yourself to turn a plastic bottle into vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andywax Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Plastic bottles are made of PET plastic; vinyl records are made of polyvinyl chloride. So I call bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 looks like somebody's trying to pull a fast one on you. in other news, did you hear they took the word "gullible" out of the dictionary? : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Another Tom Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It's bullshit, some design project at my guess. Did anyone check the portable one? its just a George Forman grill with a record in it. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I don't believe it, but I love their description: Everything is going digital. ...........or is it! Not really! ..........because Vinyl is making a comeback! Here's what the NY Times said recently: ........Vinyl is making a comeback. And the Wall Street Journal ........I saw someone buy a Vinyl record. And USA Today ......Vinyl's nice. Even Oprah! ......I think I have a Vinyl record someplace! But here's the problem! 99.9% of all new music is released only in digital format! (That number is +/- 88.9%) What if you want a Jonas Brothers album on vinyl? You can't get it! (Well, we think you can't get it, we're way too busy to check.) It doesn't matter, because now you can turn any or all of your digital music into vinyl records! I know, you're saying: "Wow, but where do I buy blank vinyl records?" You don't! You make your own vinyl records with the Digi-Vina 2.0! And you make them out of old plastic bottles! Instead of ending up in a landfill, they end up on your tabletable! We'll explain the entire process once we figure it out ourselves. Right now our test team is still scraping the labels off the old plastic bottles! TWiT's own Leo Laporte* is on the Vinyl Bandwagon. (But he's not actually in Petaluma's Chicken & Vinyl Parade due to scheduling conflicts.) *If you don't know the name Leo Laporte, seek an embalmer. You're officially deceased. In the photo above is the original Digi-Vina. It was available in limited supplies. Very limited! The one in the picture is the only one we made. But coming Friday, April 3rd, 2009 at 8 AM, we'll release Digi-Vina 2.0! Actually make that at noon, April 3rd. No one likes to get up early! For a sneak preview click on the Digi-Vinyl 2.0 tab above! And prepare to be Vinyl-ized! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yeah, this is either a joke or just a site design project....It doesn't even attempt to make the product look real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
