"I purchased this recorder primarily to convert several hundred record albums to a format I could listen to more easily...The CDR-30 is pretty good for copying music CD's onto CD-R's, as it will dub at 4 times speed...Have never made a coaster -- just remember to hit finalize when you are done with your recording..." read more »

"The sound quality of this player is remarkable...I do not use cd players to program tracks, index or title, i just put the cd in and listen...Also consider that this employs the same construction, casing, power supply and every other component except the burr-brown converter and hdcd processor found in the fl8550, which i should mention got 5 stars..." read more »
