stand alone cd burner?
Does anyone know a cd burner that can be attached to the tape outputs of an
integrated amplifier so one doesn't have to use a computer to copy LP to CD? Thanks for any info, Edward Morris |

Thanks for any info, Edward Morris There are dozens: try googling "CD Recorder". However they often require "Audio CD-R" blanks that cost a premium, and you only get one shot at level-setting, and cannot change it afterwards. Also you forgo the opportunity to put track markers where you want after consideration, and cannot do any de-clicking etc. Computer route is far better in most instances. geoff |

A Google search on the phrase "CD recorder" brings up a bunch. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

There certainly are such critters, even now in the era of dead-cheap PC burn-everything drives, but there's an issue with available media. It's getting more and more difficult to buy blank media that works optimally with "1X" "real-time" writing. Seems there're engineering compromises and balances between writing at lower and at higher speed. Everybody wants to write at higher speed these days; go figure. But it means that optimal real-time media is harder to find. Not impossible, but you'll have to look.

HHB seems to specialize in offering media which are specifically intended for good results at low burning speeds. I believe that some of the product lines by MAM (Mitsui Audio Media) are also optimized for lower-speed burning. They aren't cheap (one vendor sells the 80-minute inkjet-printable HHB variety for around $1 each in 100-disc quantities). But, if you're going to spend close to an hour per CD when recording in real-time, it might not be a bad idea to stick with quality media known to be compatible with this sort of equipment. Having to do-over because of a bad burn would be seriously irritating! -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

Thank you Chris. It seems that AZ Nomad hasn't tried googling when he
doesn't even know what to Google for. Chris, thanks for guiding me in the right direction. Eddie "Chris Hornbeck" wrote in message ...

Yes, they are called stand-alone audio CD recorders. They come in two styles: consumer, which requires special CD-R blanks that have had a royalty paid on them professional, which use the same CD-R blanks as computers Consumer audio CD burners have pretty well dropped from the marketplace. I've used such devices made by Sony, HHB, and Tascam. I prefer the Tascam burners, because they finalize about twice as fast. That all said, I'd never use one to transcribe a LP. Computers are easier to use, and more flexible. |

Thanks for any info, Edward Morris Walmart. While I have seen mnay DVD recorders, they might not have CD capability. I know of no DVD recorders that record audio on an audio CD. Some DVD recorders have built in editing and hard disk. The editing is IME pretty crude, and slow. |

Obviously computer drives do, so standalones are a possibility. Also, dual-use CD-R media is becoming common. Mark Z. |

What is possible, and what is actually available because there is a (perceived) market for it, are often two different things though. MrT. |
