Can the output recording be burned onto a cd or is it strictly for MP3's?

After installing the ION software on your computer, and connecting the turntable (USB), you will be able to play your vinyl records through your computer sound system, and copy the music onto your hard drive in MP3 format. From there you can copy the MP3's onto a CD that should work in any CD player.

No. They are recordable for audio only with computer i.e. burning from iTunes ... I have a stereo component CD burner ... it would not recognize these as blank audio CDs for burning. But these CDs look cool ... wished they'd make "audio" format.

You can put a mike into it, but I have not done so. I assume you can burn to CD, but haven't done that either.good luck. Its a nice device for guitar, etc.

No, this player/reccorder can record to a CD only - meaning you can record from an LP,cassette or the radio to a CD. My brochure states: CD Recorder with Turntable/Cassette Player Margot Mc Ewen -December 1, 2012

You can burn mp3s to a blank CD and use this machine to listen to them, but you can't put music directly on it like an IPod or an mp3 player.

Only CD-R music will work for sure. Regular CD-Rs may work, but it's hit or miss. CD-R music discs are made specifically for recording in a machine such as this.

The product description indicates it is a computer program on a DVD rather than an Audio CD with tracks you could rip. GG is right that the program, Audacity, plus Lame.dll is probably the best way to convert various things to mp3s. Audacity is free, open source, works well, and under most setups can also record your computer's audio output. Perhaps that's the only way you could extract audio from a program and convert to mp3, but I think it's supposed to be interactive.

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.

Not sure - I have not tried recording yet, but I believe the site specified that you record directly to a digital file. Of course, then you could convert the file (burn) to a cd. Good Luck!\

You are not able to record to CD. I have recorded from Records, Cassettes and CD's to USB and the music is automatically converted to MP3 and I am able to play in my auto from the USB. I have not had any problems and my unit works great.

Have not tried it myself but no you can record a CD or radio program to a tape only with this unit according to the instruction sheet.

There may be other ways, but I'd simply burn a CD from iTunes and then rip it to create the MP3 files a copy them to the SD.

According to my instruction manual you can record from a CD to a cassette..but not conversely!

Yes, the machine is supposed to have that capability. You should be able to record to CD from vinyl records and AM/FM radio.

As far as we know it only records to CDs and to record from CDs it requires an auxiliary CD player to record from CD to CDIt meets our needs nicely but may not work for you.

It sounds to me like you are talking about burning an MP3 disc, a disc with MP3's burned directly as data files instead of converting them to cd audio files. Yes, in that case you can get a couple of hundred songs on a cd compared to about 20 with a normal audio cd.With this receiver, you can save MP3's and other audio file types on a flash drive and plug it in to the USB port and not have to use any discs at all. I read that other people have been also able to use external hard drives!

I don't use it for recording music, but I don't know why not. It will be likely a different quality from CDs, but still records with good sound quality. Enjoy!
