Digital camera reviews of Crosley CR248 Songwriter CD Recorder - Paprika
Digital camera Review: Good product features, but needs more
Summary: 3 Stars
The Crosley product I purchased has great features physically and
is definitely versatile, but is lacking in good sound reproduction and unwaving playback. I'm not expecting this system to band-aid old worn recordings, but with today's technology I was expecting more bass boost
and steady intonation. The unit does look attractive, however.
Digital camera Review: Good recordings
Summary: 4 Stars
Some of the other reviewers of this product were less than happy with the quality of the product, or the sound of phonograph records or other media formats. Well, yeah, it doesn't sound all that great compared with other systems...but the buyer should already have something better for listening. As a recording device, it was pretty good, and that's why I bought the Crosley...to transfer old cassettes and records to the CD format for preservation purposes. It worked fine. I thought the design of the front panel was a overly complex and hard to read, but I got used to it. Crosley might have added a VU meter and adjustment to the recorder, but that would have jacked up the cost. All in all, and for the recording purpose, it's a pretty good tool. The object CD-Rs sound just like the original cassettes and records.Digital camera Review: Good-looking but poor performance

We bought the Crosley Songwriter in October of last year at Linens 'n Things.The remote didn't work, but Customer Service at Crosley sent a new one, which worked fine.
As a fourth-grade teacher, I have many cassettes that I want to record onto CDs (stories from the reading series, old books-on-tape), so I used it to copy these over. All seven of the CDs I made worked wonderfully. Transferring albums was equally easy, although I only did one. In both cases, the most difficult part was being present to press the button that manually splits tracks.
After a month of use, however, the CD player would only play part of a CD--three songs--and then it would quit, locking up the unit. Powering off and back on freed up the unit, but didn't solve the problem. We have since returned the Songwriter to Linens 'n Things for a full refund. This is a great idea in an attractive package that just doesn't work.
Digital camera Review: Great idea, poor performance
Summary: 1 Stars
It worked great at first, then the turntable started playing slow. Same thing for the cassette player. It worked great the first time. Now it is all muffled, if it plays at all. Sometimes when you try to record the machine shuts off. I whole heartedly do NOT recommend this item.Digital camera Review: Great item

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, my husband has a huge record collections, he has been busy recording them to cd. The first one we received had a defect, but when I called the company they were so helpfull, and within two day's we had a new one, they even took care of the shipping charge to send it back. I would not hesitate to buy this again, and I will try to go to this company for anything else their service was excellent.
