You'll get your money's worth out of an interface for sure. Obviously you haven't been doing any recording of your guitar playing onto your computer. The interface will allow you to do this too. It's amazing how your playing progresses once you start doing this. You can also join in on some of the backing tracks that we do around here from time to time. Lots of fun. Yes the investment is worth it. Not only will you get your albums into your computer (you'll also be able to load in those Bobby Goldsboro albums from the thrift store) but you can have some fun recording your playing. Win win deal.
