Crosley Composer CR247 - Vinyl to CD Recorder

[neil54life]

some of you highly exagerate on this equip it is alright sure it wont be the best but its alright the sound i had no prob with its not like your spending over $1200bucks but for some that want something affordable its alright just one button press then it records they also have usb one and ipod but other turntables you need all the rca and usb wires

[PrankZabba]

where the fuck am i suppose to put my 8 tracks?

[FuckBieber]

O___O I dont get all this talk bout how much of a piece of shit this is...I bought one a year ago and it works perfectly fine.....Its good sound better than nothing

[lrd9999]

@FuckBieber I wouldn't buy one myself, but for someone who doesn't want to mess with 35 year old equipment, it might well be good enough. For anyone considering buying one, I'd say not to buy it unless you can try it out. If you can't hear any wow & flutter and the rumble isn't a problem, you can probably live with the copies it makes. I doubt the majority of people can hear the difference between a ceramic and magnetic pickup, especially if their going to play the CDs on some P.O.C. boombox.

the vintage is better,, alls u got to do is find a vintage tunrtable, hook it up to a good reciever, hook the reciever to ur computer and record clean quality sound,,instead of wasting almost $200 dollars for that piece of shit that dont work, especially with the ceramic needles they have on it,, fuk that thats the worst thing u can do to ur records,, dont waste ur time on that

There was one of these Crosley units (not this exact model, but similar) @ the Goodwill a few weeks back. I put on a Lawrence Welk record & walked off. :D

[rigogurt]

mine came out of the box with a bum left speaker

[RecordGuy3434]

that video just wasted a chunk of my life

[Teflon65]

I like these things, but they aren't for audiophiles. Also, they are more suited for playing music like jazz, old standards, and even old country. They don't seem suited for hard rock, hiphop, or much of the later music, which was recorded with more sophisicated equipment.

[JohnnySideburnsX]

that thing is stoopiD!!

it doesnt let you play your CD on other cd player but itself how fuckn selfish is that?!?!?!

[Interests2009]

I agree with you.

Don't even buy one of these things. I had wanted one of these systems for reasons previously mentioned and that it can play 78's. However, companies are beginning to make better turntables with the 78 RPM speed with better sound reproduction. Not to mention that this here unit makes lousy recordings.

[wilkes85]

Anyone who buys one of these cheap things deserves the crap sound quality that comes out of them.

Anyone who says these cheap things actually work well have obviously never heard a real turntable perform before.

But if you people want to waste your money on a piece of crap, then be my guest.

But you can get MUCH better sound with a good turntable and reciever, and if you want to burn your vinyl onto CD, then just hook the reciever to the computer.

Seriously, these crosley things are CRAP!

[Interests2009]

wilkes85--You know. Good point!

When these things first came out, I wanted to buy one (b/c I felt it would be good being that it's small and all.) However, when I went into a retailer to test it out (using a recordable CD), the sound quality is for shit. This is, like, this buzzing sound that comes out. I have even used 30+ year-old turntables for my audio transfers, and the results have been absolutely wonderful.

@wilkes85 WELL, YOUR FACE IS CRAP! I HAVE ONE OF THESE AND IT WORKS GREAT!  SO GO FUCK YOURSELF! YOU NUB!

[wilkes85]

@ThePaddyjoejr1 Read the second paragraph in my comment.

[fmendezxxx]

My girlfriend got me one for Father's Day in '08 and it is still the best gift any Dad can get! I love her for it!!!

[barrackflobama]

do you have to record the whole cd or can you do it song by song like burning cds

[JoeChrisMorris]

I think you can do track selection

I dont know tho - haven't got one!

[clasicoydigital]

oohhh

[Astridzzz]

I love my Crosly Composer!

[texs2007]

No! No Europe!

[PearlJammer07]

How do the songs sound after being digitized? Still really good or no?

[djayray]

I own the Crosley Composer and it does a great job of digitizing my old vinyl records onto CD's. It's a LOT quicker and easier than recording them on my computer like I had been doing. The only problem I had was the cassette door doesn't close properly but the cassette still plays just fine which is all that matters.
