Why Memorex is there so many unhappy folks for Cd Play #3851??. I threw mine away 3 weeks after
912744
memorex makes more than one 3851 that look similar but do not perform the same. i like mine, but took back another one that had a different suffix after the 3851.

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!

I should also mention that yes you do need to use the correct "music" discs. I used the correct discs, but my unit/s showed faults after minimal use each time. My first unit showed consistent errors, I had it repaired by manufacturer and it came back faulty again, it was replaced by the seller with another brand new unit that worked for about 3 weeks, then replaced again with another unit that worked for a few months. Finally I was fed up with this piece of junk and after much disagreement with the seller, they eventually agreed to offer me a full refund. If you can get your money back and buy a quality brand recorder, I would do that. Good luck I should also mention that yes you do need to use the correct "music" discs.

tbh, id just spend a little more money and get verbs. the last stack of memorexs that i bought. none of them worked to make a backup. i still have half of that stack of mems still.. but yeah just buy verbs so you dont fail every other disc. Also. mems only seem to work on very old games. new games they will fail burns it seems. i use img burn and burner max payload tool.. but yeah. with mems, it seems like every OnE OF Three packs u buy they will work fine.

Unfortunately, I'm not a good contact for this player as mine only worked for about 1/2 of a CD. Hope you have better luck should you decide to buy!

noNo it was not included and it took many hours to try and get it from the company. When they responded the Rip and Burn was not included rendering it useless. I still have not been able to make it work and am completely disgusted with their customer support. They will be glad to sell their new system for several hundred dollars with no workable solutions for what you purchased. If they would just have included the original code things might have been OK. I bought two of these and neither had the code included. Unfortunately I needed to rip and burn songs for my Mother's 90th birthday party and these heartless bastards blew it with their incessant finger pointing. Hope they choke on their ill gotten gains. noNo it was not included and it took many hours to try and get it from the company.

Do you know if this unit plays cd, cd-r. cd-rw? I have made most of my cd's and need a player that will play all them. Also, do I need to buy anything else other than this CS-325 to play my cd's? Thanks for your help.

I have version B1 for sale -- or rather I will shortly. I had been looking for ver B1 because as my operating system requires it. After looking for a few months I just found my first ver B1 today but I had to buy a box of five of them (all brand new) to get it. Want to buy one? If so, you may contact me at 1-913-620-7120; I'll probably just take your name and notify you once I've listed them for auction.

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.

I still can't figure out how this thing works. I've had it for at least a year now. I would never buy another one. How it chooses to play CDs seems to be dependent on the last disc drawer that played? Even when I put a new CD in a drawer, it chooses to play whatever drawer was playing before OR, if I put a new CD in the drawer that was playing, it chooses the next drawer. Pain in the ass.

I'm not sure if memorex continues to make the software, but I have always preferred to use software that comes with whatever audio/video editing program I have. Assuming you have a audio/video editing program (such as Nero or Cyberlink) most editing programs will have a unique CD/DVD cover designer included. If you do not have a audio/video editing program, I suggest you Google "free CD/DVD cover designers." Also of note, a decent cover designer will have a drop down box that allows you to select Memorex as the desired format. When you do this, it reflects a graphic that looks like your memorex blank sheet. Hope this helps.

Hello Starr, I'm not sure however I have copied all types of cd's and dvd's. My favorite has been Memorex DVD-R. Perfect copy quality.

I have had two of them and both did the same thing. These are defective units as far as the tapes are concerned.If you have your paperwork and box, I would send it back and get a refund. I threw mine away so can't return it...now the CD is acting up. It is ready for the trash and I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER buy another one.

Yes, the Memorex does have an excellent power cord (not an ac adapter). However, a few days ago mine stopped working as an MP3 CD player after about three months of use! I would use it to play for about 11 hours every night at a low volume level, and I suppose the CD drive or LED failed. I have now ordered a MP3 player which I can connect to the AUX input jack and play the MP3 files from a SD memory card (no moving parts and no LED). I now have three small stereos and I have worn out the CD drives in all of them. They all probably will work with the MP3 player which will need to be on an ac adapter all the time.

Never got that problem; However, here is part of what I experienced:"Needed a BACK-UP PLAYER so ordered this unit. When I started playing CD-G's I started getting extraneous images (JUNK)and residue along with the text. I'm in the process of trying to make sure it's not my CD-G's causing the problem before I ask to return the VOCOPRO DVX-890K DVD Karaoke Player . Played on primary player (VocoPro DVG 888KII)and issue disappeared. Returned and had a replacement (same type machine) sent. Received and had the same problem...Bob
