Recording vinyl woes

Hello all,

Maxell cdr sourced from Amazon loaded properly and was recognized by my DR17. While I didn't have time yet to actually make a recording, I don't expect any issues.

thanks for all the advice

Cheers,                Crazy Bill

thanks guys for all your help.

I went to Amazon and found Maxell cdr that appears will work. Got a couple on the way. I'll report back after I try them.

FWIW, I don't do this for my use. To me ( I'm sorry digital guys ), but all digital  pales in comparison to my vinyl rig. I can't listen to it. I make these CDs for friends as gifts or to get one of my wifes albums on CD to play in her car.

I’d say Ebay is your friend. I have bought countless brand new blank cassette tapes, cd-r’s, blank mini disc’s, you name it. All still factory sealed and In good usable/functioning shape. I do prefer to put my vinyl on high quality cassette tapes, as it retains its analog qualities. However, I can see a reason to use a cd-r if that is all you have and want to play it in a digital device etc...

Do a search on Amazon for Music CD-R. There are some of them there.  ebay has a lot of them.  It appears that Maxell is still making them.

Amazon appears to have TDK CD-R's and at a fairly reasonable price.

But only 2 left so better hurry! ;-)

You need Music CDRs that have paid a royalty for the priveledge of being functional. They were a tough task to acquire years ago.

Good luck 

CD-RWs last for years if you can get them.

The blanks I used in my non-commercial Pioneer were labeled "digital audio" (it would only recognize blanks marked as such to record).

Here's an old chat about it.

I don't know if someone else can chime in here but as far as I can recall the disc that you use in these recorders is either Recordable CD + or - as there are two types. Hope this helps.
