Whether you are redecorating your entertainment center, upgrading or just want a change of pace, here are some really cool gadgets that, for one reason or another, add a twist to electronic media gadgets that we know and love.

For music lovers, start with the very retro turntable with MP3 and CD capability by Murphy. The front of this gadget looks very much like a 1950s-era radio with a flip top, LP turn table—only it doesn’t play only LPs. (For you young whippersnappers, that means the vinyl albums.) Instead, it plays music CDs. It also has the MP3 player capability in rich stereo sound, full volume control and “tuning” dial for the honest-to-goodness radio, too. This retro gadget allows you to convert your old 33s and 45s (vinyls again, youngsters) into MP3 format. The pull-out CD player allows the fourth medium for enjoyment for well-rounded music lovers of all ages.

Also for music lovers, consider the Sennheiser PMX 80 Sport Mini Backband In-Ear Headphones. Not just for the athletically inclined, these moisture-resistant headphones are great when you work out, when you walk to the bus stop or to your car in the back lot. Clear, stereo sound in the rain or the sunlight always sounds great. Stash your MP3 or MP4 player in an inner pocket and never worry about the weather or humidity or perspiration ruining your headphones again.

The Touch Screen Wrist Watch MP3 Player continues new-on-old theme. The clock function rests behind your MP3 functions on the display. Check the time. Push a button and listen to the favorites song list as you wait for the next bus or your next class. Officially, it’s called the “Tick Tack Music Watch,” so if you can’t find it under one name, try the official one. The wide band securely straps this two-in-one device to either wrist. Plug in the ear buds and listen to your favorite tunes. Never fear losing your MP3 player again. It’s right there on your arm!

For movie lovers, there’s an MP4 version available that also plays music if you’d like. It has a 1.5-inch LCD screen, a USB cable that can upload movies or music and uploadable CD software to “install” it on your PC, laptop, notebook or tablet.

And speaking of retro, how about either the retro radio case for the iPhone 4 or the vintage brownie (old camera, folks) case for the iPhone 4? Either gives a cool look that your friends won’t easily find. Stand out from the crowd and go retro as you listen to your favorite tunes and make your bff very jealous.

Go completely in theme with the rotary phone covers, too. Too bad you just can’t dial up your favorite music list, but the easy-in, easy-out design lets you quickly change lists or download more through the MP3 play capability.

The IDAPT i3 charging station allows you to charge up to three devices at once. Mobile phones, GPS devices, digit cameras with built-in batteries, Bluetooth devices and MP3 or MP4 devices—it doesn’t matter. Pick any three and charge from one outlet. Secure the base model and carefully mount your devices, and soon you’ll be on the go with any or all of them.
