When you install the software for the Zen (not the stupid Yahoo Music Engine), it'll give you the option of ripping your CD's directly to your player, so yes.

You will always need the computer to transfer whatever you want. The only direct way is with the voice recorder, and I know that is not what you meant by direct.

I have not tried to record with this cd player. However, I read the instructions and it mentioned that you can record. Not only from the cd, tuner (radio) but also from out side the device.

No. You can play cassettes or you can play CD's or you can play the radio. There is equipment that can copy cassettes onto a CD but it is generally in the form of a turntable for the old records or it will clearly state that there is that capability with any advertised eqipment.

No. The older model had cassette players on them so you could record from one cassette to the other. I don't remember if you could record from the turntable and cd's. But this model has no cassette players.

It cannot directly do that. It can record from a cassette/record and output it in MP3 format to a USB memory stick. You can then burn the MP3 to CD using a separate computer - if your computer does such.

There is no record option with a tape nor does it have a cd burner. It does have a headphone jack so a computer hookup may work.

I record from my music library in my computer (which takes CD-R). I know that CD+R is sold also, but I don't know anything about that. I record the disc placed into my computer and this blank CD works perfectly; however, if you are recording from a device connected to a CD changer, the disc needed is called "Audio Digital."

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.

Not directly. You have to transfer your cassette to itunes on your computer, then you can make a CD.

No, you can record to a thumb drive through the USB port, then record to CD using a computer. I have not tried this yet.

Yes, we use a duplicator and make 10 copies at a time and they can be played in a regular CD player. I am not sure about recording in a stand alone recorder because we use a digital system to do the original recording.

If I am understanding your question correctly, yes you can burn a cd containing MP3 files and it will play. I do it all of the time. I hope this answers you question. I believe you can also save them to a flash drive and play them as there is a usb port. I haven't tried that yet though.

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 would say that you should be able record some music from the Internet. You do have to format the disc unless your program does that at the same time as you download. I always format my discs ahead of time. These are reallyhigher capacity. I put pictures and text files on mine.

you can not make cd's in this machine-only copy them. You can copy compilation cds after you make them in a computer

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.
