Digital camera reviews of Crosley CR248 Songwriter CD Recorder - Paprika
Digital camera Review: Do Not Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
Sounds great when you listen to the radio, cassette, or CD player, but sounds AWFUL when you play a vinyl record. For a product that is marketed as a great way to transfer all of your old LP's to CD, we were very disappointed in the inferior quality of the turntable. Recording was easy, perfect for someone not computer-savvy like my husband. Turned out to be a BIG disappointment on Christmas morning. Especially for $400! A kid's toy sounds better. We had to send it back.Digital camera Review: Do Not Buy This Item!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
In theory, this gizmo sounds pretty awesome and great, right? Wrong! Granted, it does what it says it does, and is pretty user-friendly, but that's where the bargain ends. The sound is very tinny and 'Mickey-Mouse' and, on the one we ordered, one of the CD channels didn't play at all. When we tried to patch this thing into our higher quality stereo system, we still got an awful sound quality because it records based on the sound quality the component itself produces. I guess there are no quick fixes where this is concerned; if you want to make quality CD's from your old tapes and albums, go to an electronics store and get the components the store recommends. It may be considerably more complicated, but the quality will be well worth it. The Crosley CD Songwriter is nothing more than an expensive piece of garbage in an attractive cabinet.Digital camera Review: Easy to use, but that's about it
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this item because I have serious amounts of vinyl and old cassettes I wanted to digitize.
Sad to say, I started with the cassettes. For that purpose, this device excels. I digitized about 100 old (mostly spoken-word) cassettes.
By that time, I was no longer able to return it; and when the first LPs came out sounding tinny and slightly fast, I found myself seriously wishing I could do so.
I must say, this device was a snap to use. The reviews that refer to the controls as confusing may reflect a lack of willingness to RTFM (which I'll admit could be a bit better-written). It's well-constructed and sounds at least average.
If you have *lots* of tape (comedy, books-on-tape, radio programs), and you're not particularly tech-prone (read: computer-savvy), this device may be worth it. If, on the other hand, your main goal is digitizing LPs, I'd recommend you pass.
Digital camera Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent product. This was a Christmas gift for a friend and he is truly enjoying recording all of his records to CD's and listening to them at his leisure. Excellent quality and extremely easy to use. Don't have to be electronically savvy to operate, which he isn't. I would recommend this product to everyone who has a record collection. It doesn't take up a lot of space and has so many features -- an all-in one unit.Digital camera Review: Finally, an stero system that looks like furniture
Summary: 4 Stars
Item arrived much faster than time promised and in excellent condition. Nothing to put together. Performs very well. What fun copying our old albums to CD. Also fun to play some of them again. It fits into our living room nicely, looking like a piece of furniture. For stereo afficianados, the speakers probably wouldn't be sufficient but you can add on to the unit.
