Digital camera reviews of Crosley CR248 Songwriter CD Recorder - PaprikaDigital camera Review: A CERTIFIED PIECE OF JUNK ---- SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Summary: 1 Stars
This isn't worth even one star. I've never purchased anything as worthless as this. Fortunately, I bought it at Target, because of the ease of returning purchases there -- I pretty much knew I'd be returning it since I'd already read these negative reviews (could it be the positive ones were written by Crosley employees?). I'd also had a lot of trouble with TEAC's version of the same thing -- though that's an infinitely superior component to this.
Ease of operation, yes. Does it work, NO!!! Each time I put a blank CDR in the tray (whether SONY, MAXELL or TDK) it did the same thing: it started to record as it should, but then stopped recording while the LP continued to play. Only by looking at its very small screen did I notice it now said PHONO (rather than RECORD)and had stopped recording (each time after about 10 minutes). Starting it to record again made little difference -- and 3 of the more expensive "digital recordable" CDRs went into the toilet. I decided enough was enough and just now returned it to Target. I intend to let Target management know they're selling junk to their customers.
Whatever you do, DON'T BUY THIS!!! You'll only be sorry if you do. I'm now told that you can use SONY's CD recorder/player (RCD-W500C)) with an interface to your own turntable and produce excellent copies onto disc without using a computer. That's going to be my next route if the TEAC, when it comes back from its 3rd trip to the plant in Calif for "adjustments," doesn't again work properly. The current best price I've found on this Sony unit is about $256, including shipping, here at Amazon.
Considering the large number of LPs still out there with people like us ready to transfer them to CD, it's a wonder no one has come up with something that really works.
