It does not have a cd burner. it does come with software to upload music to your computer. I have not had a chance to try it yet.

The unit will record directly from a cassette to CD. No computer needed. The USB allows you to import music from a flash drive to be recorded to CD.

Sorry, you cannot record to a C.D with this unit. You can record to a cassette from the turntable or the AM-FM radio, to a cassette as well. Hope this was helpful,, GG

I believe you can record onto a cassette FROM a CD, but not the other way around.

Yes it is different. The connection is with a USB. I have successfully recorded 12 songs, first from 33rpm records to a cassette tape then from cassette to a cd disc. I then was able to play it on my cd player and it sounds great. The unit I bought looks cheap but it works. I have 12 more songs ready put on a cd. I tried the jack direct to the computer with no luck. Use INGburn free download. How to write an Audio CD and hoe to write an image file to disc. Use this with Audacity softwares latest version.

Yes, but it doesn't work as well as you would think. It's inexpensive so you get what you pay for. I now just use it primarily as a car tape player (I go thru many batteries) as I only have a car CD player. And I connect the cassette player to my AUX port in the car. I would really suggest buying a cassette to recordable cd machine if you have as many to convert as I do. Costs more to get quality recordings.

Yes it will, I have a Tascam cc-222slmkii to record vinyl to CD. If you are recording cd to cd, may I suggest you run a audio toslink or digital coaxial cable from the player to the recorder. If you have the connections.

Indeed it not only plays your cassettes, but you can record from radio or CD to a new cassette as well.

It records to DV tapes. But their are video USB cards that you can use to capture the video to your computer.

No recording feature with this unit. I recommend purchasing a mixer/amplifier. I have a Peavy PVi 4B. It has an output jack that allows taping to cassette or mp3 player using the proper cables. I have not tried this but is stated in the functions that is in the manual for the mixer.

Any contact playback such as a "needle" will wear down a vinyl record which is a good reason to transfer the recording to a CD or mp3 file. Some needles are worse than others so test first on a throwaway record to be sure there is no vinyl dust on the record or needle after one playback cycle. I had a defective needle once on a new unit which ruined a good record. I could see and hear the needle digging into the record grooves. After replacing the needle with another needle (same brand and type) the problem disappeared .

You can convert the vinyl record to a cd but you do need a computer to do it. You can't directly do it on the record player. You would have to use the player to convert the vinyl record into mp3 files on a computer and then burn those files onto a cd using iTunes or another program.

I don't believe so. My instructions include only recording from cassette, record, or radio to a CD.

It can play cassette tapes and CDs through a receiver and separate speakers. Vinyl LPs are not able to play on this product, however, it can record them as an input option from a turntable.

I don't believe you can record directly to cd but I think you can write a track to cd. if you can, it should be less than a minute.

I would like to know also as sometimes when I record over 1 hour and 17 minutes it will not copy it do a cd; if smaller it will. So I have learned to stop at that point and start new recording if you want to transfer to a cd.

Yes, you can copy from cassette to CD. You can also record from CD to cassette. Unless you monitor the recording process when recording from cassette or LP records you lose search capabilities on the CD. By default, the recorder will record the side 1 of the cassette as the first item (song) on the CD and side 2 of the cassette as item 2 (song). Thus you end up with a CD with 2 songs on it; song 1 contains the entire side one of the cassette and song 2 contains the entire side 2 of the cassette. With a commercially produced CD you can go to any song on the CD using your players search function. Unless you monitor your recording process to stop and start recording after each song you will not be able to effectively use the search capability. By stopping and restarting recording after each song you restore search capability and your CD will be searchable just like the commercially produced CDs. This is the only shortcoming that I have discovered with the TEAC CD recorder. It is of sturdy design and well crafted. I have hundreds of LP albums and cassettes to transfer to CD. So far the unit has operated flawlessly. My CDs play on everything I've tried providing I don't forget to finalize the CD after recording; a very simple process. If you don't finalize the disc it can still be played on the TEAC unit. You can even add more material to the CD. Once the CD is finalized you can no longer record on it. I hope this answers your concerns. I would not hesitate to buy this unit again. I did a lot of research prior to finding the TEAC LP-R550USB CD Recorder. I am convinced that this recorder is the best value on the market, both cost wise and ease of use.
