Does this unit record on regular digital CD-R or only on Music CD-R? If it requires Music CD-R can you still rip the songs to a computer?

I use music CD-Rs to record. But I have also used CD-Rs. Believe music CD-Rs give you a better quality to sound.

It will record on regular CD-R's. I don't know if you can rip the songs to your computer. It may depend on what media program you use. I know Windows 7 Media Player, won't let you.

I'd say regular cd-rs, I've not heard of music only cds. I'm using Ridata 52x. Cannot answer your 2nd question

For my purposes (to back up elderly LPs), I use CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) in my machine, then transfer them to my computer (into iTunes). Then, I can move them to my iPod, if desired.

I only tried it on Music CD-R then downloaded to my Mac without any trouble. It made recordings just the way the unit played them and I was satisfied with them. But the unit stopped making CD's while on number 45 and it wouldn't eject the last one. So I returned it and got a refund. The unit is very cheaply made and I have about 800 records and cassettes to convert. I don't think you can get 50 CD's made before it would fail. I did request a replacement but they quit carrying it for a while and refunded my money. Now they are stocking it again with a sizable price increase. If you get one I would use it a lot quickly and if it goes bad Amazon return policy is very good. i would like to have another one if I knew the quality was better but it doesn't seem like things are made to last anymore. I hope your question was answered and good luck on your decision.

Yes it requires music quality cd's I contacted TEAC and their recommendation was TDK. I went with CD-RW and yes you can rip them to ITUNES or whatever program you use. Then the TEAC will do a full erase in a matter of seconds and you can re-use the same disk.

Yes, it records on any CD-R or CD-RW and also directly to computer by a USB cable.

You have to make sure the cd's with the label "digital audio" or going to have truoble

CD-Rs and Music CD-Rs are EXACTLY the same thing. The reason music CD-Rs exist is they have a tax on them, and the music is given to the slime ball music companies who have convince governments they are losing money due to piracy.

I use regular CD-Rs and they work. Have not tried to rip anything to a computer.

I am getting a similar problem using dvd + r discs. I used to be able to record onto these discs, but now suddenly I keep getting the message: "This disc cannot be played. please check the disc". It is now impossible for me to record and may as well junk this machine and buy a more reliab le unit.

You can record only to an SD card or a zip drive. Then you take that to your computer, put in a cd and transfer from either of those to a cd.

You can record a 74 or 80 min. cd-r on it.You can use plain data discs if you wish.you don't have to buy cd -r's made just for that purpose.And yes, it can play mp's too.

I never found out. I did not like this digital recorder and could never get it to download to my computer. I gave it to the Goodwill with instructions for someone else to figure out.

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.

I guess you can record from the turn table source if you select "Line In " source of this RW 900 Unit. I had recorded FM Radio music from Receiver to Cassette tape of this RW 900 Unit via " Line In ". I think it is same logic. And I wonder why you take long distance to record the music via Receiver's turn table , instead of this RW 900 Unit terminal and turn table ? . Logically shorter route or connection cable has more signal quality and nose less and avoid any possible hum and noise and etc. And when you record music to your CD , do not forget to use the " Audio CD", do not use DVD or general computer data record CD.

Never tried them with a computer, only a CD to CD recorder. But I have been told those I have recorded do not always play back on a DVD player, only on a CD player. Also my recorder will not record a copy I have made. It only records from an original CD. It records well regular or high speed on my machine.

If you mean what format does it record in, it is a proprietary format; it is a closed system (most compact digital multitracks are). You can't access the files on the SD card in a meaningful unless you export your tracks as WAVs, which fortunately, is very easy.

if the music cd is readen by the unit, you can copy music from the cd to the usb (Only in that way) but it is very basic you can`t choose bit/rate or format... I prefer Itunes or any other ripping program in a computer...

You could mix to stereo on the unit and put the line out to the line in on a CD recorder, then play from the Tascam and record straight to CD. It wouldn't be a digital transfer though, and you'd need to manually define the tracks on the recorder.

I didn't buy it for recording. I bought it to play audiobooks on cd for my class. It was substandard.

It is able to record on a blank cassette from the radio or from a CD. No recording on a blank CD.

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.

This disc can only be recorded on a professional recorder (such as those made by Marantz). Home audio recorders will not record to this disc. All computer CD-R drives are professional recorders so they will record to this disc.

Yes. The CD Recorder has RCA Jack inputs. Plug the audio output from your cable box into the input of the CD Recorder and you can record to CD.
