My colleague has a laptop though. Normal mic inputs are shitty mono ones,
as you've probably guessed that's why I'm looking at USB ones.
I was hoping they'd be automatically recognised as an audio input by Windows without the need for software, and that someone here might know.

You sure the mic input is mono?
Seems unusual, should just be able to get a twin phono to single stereo mini jack & use that. Will be shit quality through a generic laptop soundcard tho.

What about an external sound card

shitty but would probably do the job - he can always get some software to clean up the vinyl later
