Exactly what we've been waiting for!!!

I have a very large collection of vinyl from the late 70s and early 80s, many of which are no longer commercially available. I've recorded several onto CD already using this machine. My goal is to get it done quickly, although I understand there is freeware available to clean up scratches, etc. I've loaded all of them on my computer. RealPlayer 10.5 (free version) converts them to mp3 (and back to audio CD if you want) and I can easily put them on my mp3 player or mix/match to make audio cds of my favorite tracks.

It is very easy to use, but you really must babysit the machine. I haven't had any luck figuring out the auto track setting, so I have to manually set the tracks as I go.

I didn't read the instructions first, so I went out and bought a spindle of 50 CDs, and they didn't work... go figure. You must use digital audio disks, which are more expensive, and if you go to your local computer store, you will probably only find one stack of them and 50 of every other kind of disk. I found Memorex Music CD-R, with "Compact Disc Digital Audio Recordable" and they work great.
