I just bought a CD burner so I could transfer a lot of my old band tapes and LP records to CD. I love this thing! It's made by Sony (I can't remember the model number) but it sells for $299 at Circuit City. It has a 5 CD changer on the left and then a one CD tray for the recorder side. What's cool is the analog in/out on the back so you can use it just like a tape deck in your home stereo system. This thing is as easy to use as a tape deck. You just put in a blank CD, hit the record button, start your source and set the record volume accordingly and when that's correct you just start the record or tape again and press the play button on the CD recorder and it starts recording. If you want separate song tracks noted on the CD for locating songs you have to tap the record button between songs and it'll attach a track number to the CD. If you want to copy a CD you just put one in the other tray, a blank one in the record tray and push one button and it's done. Can't get any easier than that. I've already copies some old band tapes from 30 to 35 years ago to CD which is so cool. Some of my older ones won't even play anymore so I guess I'll have to throw those out, I wish this had come along sooner. What's nice now is I can take the multi-track cassettes I've made on my Tascam and transfer them to CD after they're mixed...JH in Va.

| I share your excitement Jerry, a few days ago I walked out of a circut city with a CD recorder that is their own brand, that someone returned who could not figure out to use it, plus it was on sale, ended up paying about $160 for it. I was a little wary, but it seems like its built like a tank. I was considering the Sony, but could not pass up the "house Brand". Anyway the possibilities are building in my mind ...transfering old music, finally getting my own music on CD, (instead of those lousy cassetts) and making backing tracks to play steel by (as I dont play with anyone else too often) that play reliably in tune, Jim |
