Great Product

"I purchased this product to record all my old vinyl records, cassette tapes, and reel-to-reel tapes to CD's. Have recorded over 200 records and tapes so far and it works great. Have another 140 to go. Reproduction is perfect. Am using the analog connections with old stereo equipment with no problem. Yes, you have to use music cd's. Data cd's are for computers.

I Wish I Could Love This Thing

"I bought this unit so that I could (1) create music mix CD's from my CD collection, and (2) record existing music mixes from cassettes onto CD's. Recording mixes from CD to CD is fairly straightforward and the results are satisfying. But when it came to trying to record cassettes, via my component setup, onto CD's, the unit would stall every time after recording about 30 seconds worth of material. I spent proba..."

"I've been using this to transfer LPs to CD and also made mixed music CDs. When it works, it's great. However, I've had numerous problems with the labeling device, trying to copy a CD I've made, and numerous "errors" with completed CDs.
