1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality Product, December 24, 2006

By	Stephen R. D'Arcy (Detroit, Mi.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crosley CR248 Songwriter CD Recorder - Paprika (Electronics)

I purchased the Crosley LP-to-CD from Brookstone and after I got it home I was astonished to discover how cheap a product costing several hundred dollars could be. The turntable is awful. If you bought a turntable for $25 you would expect it to be better than this. The tone arm is not properly balanced and worst of all the speed is not consistent and is not adjustbale. This product is virtually worthless for converting LP's to CD's if you have any senstivity to sound quality. Stay away from this!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Serious Piece of GARBAGE!!!!!!!, March 7, 2007

By	K. Daly "golddusted" (WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crosley CR248 Songwriter CD Recorder - Paprika (Electronics)

I just received this item yesterday, and already found it does not work. The sound is poor, and when I tried to record a cd from a vinyl album, I found it did not work AT ALL! It records the first few seconds of the song, then skips all over the place. Very expensive piece of junk which will cost you an arm and a leg to return to whomever you buy it from!!!!!!!! (If they even take it back)
I bought it because I have a lot of vinyl that I want to put onto cd and into iTunes, but it's worthless for that. A BIG WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!
Does not even deserve one star.

4.0 out of 5 stars The "Recordable Turntable", January 9, 2007

By	Dinah Shore "record fan" (NYC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crosley CR248 Songwriter CD Recorder - Paprika (Electronics)

We bought this because we wanted to be able to put our old records onto discs. It does this very well. It also will put cassettes onto discs, but we haven't tried that yet. It plays records, cassettes, discs, and radio also. It's a good machine with one exception: the sound quality of its speakers is quite poor. However, by turning off its sound and routing it through our own speakers, it sounds fine. Only other quibble is that the remote isn't so easy or intuitive to use, takes some learning to figure out. Overall, we are really glad we bought this item and it is doing just what we needed.
