Has anyone used this to make picks out of old CD's? If so, how did they come out?

It depends. If you could find the thinner plastic cards like a hotel room key, then the Pick Punch worked well. However, if you used a credit card that is generally thicker, then the edge of the pick would come out rough. You will have to file it with a nail file. So, it works fine but not great.

I bought this for my brother he's a musician (plays guitar)on Mexico city. He loves it.

I haven't tried it, but I doubt it would work well because CDs are thicker and more brittle than the plastic gift cards.

I have cleaned hundreds of CD. Some of the cd were scratched so bad they would not play. After I clean them they play great.

This is not a record player. It connects to your turntable and produces CDs from the results. You will need a separate turntable.

I use my recorder with some Church Audio mics to a preamp and run it thru line-in. I get excellent results. Some people have asked where I bought the CD and are surprised when I show them on what it was recorded.

I don't have this item, but I did buy the Crosby that downloads records to CD's or tapes. I love it. It sounds good on the old records.

I've never done it that way but Yes you should be able to. At worst you would make a track as you listen, then you could save or delete. I/ve copied most of my vinyl and burned to CD as well as having a copy on my computer. Audacity works well (free)

The only cds played on it as far as I know are 1D cds that were purchased. What else did you have in mind? Maybe I can try them for you.

I used two kinds. One was the music cd-r and the other was the regular cd-r. The regular one was cheaper and worked as well as the music cd-r.

I would say yes....I use these re-writeable cds when making many of my music cd's and before adding to my computer files ..... since they are music cd's and not just computer cd's you can use them on your cd recorder and maker good music...I have 3 cd recorders

I have never tried that with the vinyl cd-r. I assume it would work just the same as any other cd.

Same just happened to me. There is a huge difference between actual picks and these cheap and plasticy pop-out-of-business-card picks. While the tuner is amazing I am frankly disappointed about the picks. I could have bought this exact product cheaper without the picks elsewhere on amazon. Edit: I just received an email apologizing for the mix-up and apparently they are sending the ChromaCast picks.

No. For at least two reasons. #1) Records and CD's are made from different materials. The Maxell kit is essentially acrylic car wax, made specifically for the type of plastic CD's are made from. Vinyl LP's use a completely different kind of plastic. #2) Records and CD's store information differently. The CD repair kit doesn't bring back missing information, but it restores the surface just enough that the laser can read sufficient digital data to reconstruct the information it thinks should be there. An analog vinyl LP is a "dumb" system; the needle just plays what's in the groove - damage, dust, dirt, etc. It all looks the same to the needle, and it has no way of knowing what should be there. Sorry Amazon, there's really no need to buy expensive record cleaning solutions. A drop of mild dish-soap in a cup of distilled warm water, wiped gently with soft cloths on the LP (and vacuumed completely dry with a small shop vacuum - that's something you can buy from Amazon that) will help alot, but scratches can't be magically made to disappear by any means.

First off, Itunes stink but I did have many songs that I downloaded from them. The easiest way is to get a CD that you can rewrite to. You burn the CD with your desired songs. Then you RIP the CD with Windows Media Player (select MP3 format before ripping), then go and rename the files to the original song titles. Since you can only fit so many songs on a CD, you then have to erase it do the process again. I now use Amazon to download music. You don't have to go through the hassle of converting to MP3.

Yes, I made a CD of various songs and it played with no problem. Great portable system.

Yes, I have used this kind of CD for burning music, saving photos, saving text files, accounting files, etc. It is pretty good at the re-write part, but not 100%. About 1/3 of the time, if I try to erase files and use the disc again, it does not read as an empty disc and cannot be re-used. These CD's do work well in my car cd player as well.

Most definitely! I bought this for my son for Christmas and he's got several cds now. The equipment you use makes the difference between good quality and not. U can look him up on Facebook or SoundCloud and hear the quality of music he has made. Look under "YaBoiKavan". Some of his stuff is even on mp3 download apps. See what you can do with this software for yourself! Good luck!
