>The cheapest player with the cheapest needle works great.
No. I have a $20 one right here.^1 It's absolute trash. The motor is too weak so it doesn't spin at a consistent rate, the needle is made of, like, a paperclip that scratches my records, and the cartridge is a hunk of plastic that sounds like wet garbage.
The sound of record players, being analog devices, are very dependant on the build quality. Digital devices reproduce audio with perfect fidelity on even the cheapest units. This is not debatable. Digital signals cannot have noise.
If you like vinyl for the art, or the nostalgia, or whatever that's great, but they produce objectively lower-quality audio, which I can measure on my oscilloscope.
No I don't. I saw this on amazon but I don't the quality is good. But that's the idea that I'm looking for. Something like this even would work, just not sure if the quality will be there.

AHEM … Skywin. Exactly the same as a Crosley.

A turntable used for travel is a bit tough. I don't think that many are made, with the exception of Crosley which has a pretty bad reputation.
If portability and cost were the two main factors I would probably grab one of these and a portable speaker. I have no idea how good/bad these products are but that's where I would start.
I think I may have found it... though I don't mind spending a few bucks something a bit more... reasonable.
edit: this is more what I'm looking for...
Vinyl is meant to be listened to on a turntable. If you rip them, you won't be nearly as satisfied than if you bought a CD copy or an iTunes copy.
Don't even consider doing rips on cheap turntables like Crosley's or this.
Sorry if I'm sounding harsh, but ripping vinyl is no easy task either. You have to babysit the whole process to make sure it doesn't skip, etc. When it's done you will want to remove cracks/pops, hisses, etc. That distorts the audio slightly.
