I love mine, easy to use and not bad sound!
I am very happy with this product, I found it easy to use and mine has not broken. It's the perfect size for the dorm room or going to a first apartment. No, it doesn't have the sound of a $2000 stereo, but then, it's not a $2000 stereo.

Don't touch this!
Don't buy this machine! On first glance, the Crosley CD Recorder seems like a good idea. You pop in a blank CD, put on an LP, press a button, and your LP burns directly onto a CD. The only problem is that the burner will fail after a few days. Mine broke after a week. First it started making noises, then it began to skip, and finally it started to turn itself off after...

The only problem is that the burner will fail after a few days. Mine broke after a week. First it started making noises, then it began to skip, and finally it started to turn itself off after only a few minutes. Naturally, the warranty had expired. You are much better off buying a turntable that plugs into your computer. That way you control the burning, and you can also filter out the static, pops and surface noise.

It looks beautiful but as you know, looks are deceiving. I bought it with the intention of coverting by my vinyl LP collection to CDs. It worked fine at first. But after about 10 weeks of very light use (6 conversions), it started shutting off in the middle of a recording. It ruined about 7 blank cds.
I took it back to Target within the 90 days with a receipt and got a refund.
They guy in electronics there said only one other one was returned (it didn't have a stylus). They don't really sell many. So, it was hard to judge if it was a bad product.
He suggested it might need higher quality blank CD-Rs. I used Phillips and Imation.
I'm not sure I want to try again but I don't think so.
Also, unless you stop recording between songs, you will have two tracks per CD - side one and side two. Not a big deal but somewhat frustrating.
