Do I need to record onto those the special Digital Audio CD, or will most standard CD work?

The manual states: "Please use CD, CD-R and CR-RW discs bearing the 'DIGITALAUDIO' mark." It also states: "Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R or CD-RW discs may not be playable." and that "an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player." I had difficulty with consistent play back of CDs I recorded - i.e., some played fine anywhere, and some would play on the TEAC and/or my computer, but not in the car and another time the same disc would not play on the TEAC. Sometimes they would play the first track (side one of a vinyl record) and not the second track (side 2 of the record). This was quite frustrating because I was wasting discs (since they can't be re-recorded). I then got some RW discs and still had problems. When I called TEAC, I was told the discs were most likely the cause of problem and that low cost generic discs were usually the culprit - I said I was using Maxell CD-R music discs and TDK CD-RW audio discs! He suggested using Sony. I have now recorded a few on Sony discs and had no playback problems - but that may be the luck of the draw since at least 2 Maxells also worked (and still work) fine.

Hey great question I wondered this too seeing as it's really hard to get hold of those discs . So no you do not have to use them . regular blank discs work fine

Not within the recorder, but it comes with the CD that you install in your PC

Other than recording to a CD, you can connect by USB to your computer and record there. The file format will then depend on the type of software you are using on your computer.

Hmm...I can't see the original question, though the link asked if I could answer it. :) I'm *guessing* you own an audio component that records music....I have a Sony machine and it requires CD-R "music" discs, and will not work with "regular" CD-Rs. The ones I have found that DO work are either Sony CD-R Music discs OR Staples CD-Rs (I think "audio" on the package, but it is not on the disc itself, I just checked). So far, those are the only two brands that work in my CD-R recorder. Best of luck....

The DP-006 unit will record voices from microphones, or voices/music from a line source such as a radio, tape recorder or other device. It will not ... on its own ... produce a CD. In order to do that you must connect it to a device that is designed to burn a CD such a CD or DVD recorder. Your computer should be able to do this quite well. This technique is described on page 28 and on page 83 - 92: EXCHANGING DATA WITH A COMPUTER. You must connect the DP-006 to the computer with the included USB cord. Pay attention to the headings: ENTIRE SONGS, WAV FORMAT TRACKS AND STEREO MASTER FILES on page 83 particularly regarding FAT partitions. Good luck.

One place is HD Tracks. However, you can convert CDs into WAV 16 bit/44.1 for free in iTunes or other programs. The player handles WAV very well, and that's generally high definition enough.

Greetings, yes this disc will handle just about any type of audio file. Not sure about the audio recorder, but if it's a CDR then you should be fine.The quality is much better than the no name store blank cdr, as of this date we have found none to be defective. Hope this answers your question and help in choosing. I ordered these when they where on sale....

Typically, no. You need "CD-R Music" discs (perform a search here on Amazon). This is for copyright reasons. They don't want us having easy digital recording capabilities.Good news: prices have come down, these discs are now somewhat affordable.

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.

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 am guessing that it will work with Macs, but not with the software on the included CD. You would probably have to download a Mac-friendly capture and edit program (I use Audacity version 2.05 on the same OS, 10.6.8, with a USB turntable) -- this is the option I am considering.

Mac users:If you have a cable that connects to the headphone port from your amp or cassette deck at one end and to the audio input at the other end that's all you need ... other than Audacity (free).I have converted lots of audio tapes and cassettes as well as vinyls to CD.You can turn the full recordings done the first time into separate tracks for your CD in Audacity.

ONLY Sony MUSIC CD's (with the purple label) will work on my stand-alone Audio CD Recorders (made by Phillips, Teac, Kenwood, Crosley, [non-computer based]) as they have a bluish-green tint and have a special encoding to tell the recorder that they have they have paid a 'royalty fee' to record music. Standard CD's and many bogus Imation/Maxell/Verbatum/Memorex "Music CD's" do NOT have the proper encoding anymore to work in these stand-alone Audio CD recorders. So be careful with what you choose.

Yes. These are the only discs that will work on my Sony stand alone CD recording deck. Target carried the discs for years but recently have quit carrying them. Each disc reads: CD-R Audio 80 min and in the shape of a box it reads: Compact disc digital audio Recordable. If you are going to buy these I would buy several to have some ahead. I purchased 2 as that is all I could afford but first chance I get I am buying a couple more.Best,David L. Burch

Likely, you made a data CD (need to make an audio CD) as stated by previous poster. If not, record using a lower sampling rate WAV file.

I'm not sure because I have never tried since I have a regular CD player which is what I use.

Not sure - I have not tried recording anything yet, but I believe the site specified that it recorded directly to digital file. You could then transfer (burn) to a cd.Good luck!
