That seems to me like you'd be getting the worst of both worlds.
Of course if you're just trying to covert already existing vinyl to digital it makes sense, but to intentionally buy vinyl so you can burn it to your iPod doesn't seem to make any sense (music quality wise I mean).

WTF? It makes loads of sense.
A professinonal calibre turntable like the Technics 1200 with a quality gold stylus like an Ortofone through a quality DJ mixer and then into a computer through a quality A/D interface would allow the OP to capture, say, Rave music to his computer from the vinyl at much higher quality (ie, 24-bit, 96kHz) than a CD (16-bit, 44.1Khz) or MP3 (...dogs**t...).
This means he has a bunch of seriously kick-ass sounding music files he can then DJ with. His set will sound louder, bassier, and cleaner than all the other DJs (unless someone is spinning old-school, right off the vinyl).
So, I say the OP should capture his records at an insanely high quality, then use Serato to spin them with the integrity as the full-analog setup.
