Title: You MUST use "MUSIC" CDs
Review: This product is no longer worth the trouble. When it was first manufactured, the music industry was trying to guard against unauthorized duplication of CDs. Therefore, the CD-200 (like many other products) was programmed at manufacture to only record on "MUSIC" CDs. Music CDs are those for which the manufacturer has paid a royalty to the music industry (probably through RIAA, ASCAP, or BMI), and are specially marked as such. The only place I could find such disks was at Best Buy. In most stores, the pencil-necked teens who staff the music and computer departments have no idea what you are talking about and think, erroneously, that any CD will work. It will NOT. YOU CANNOT USE "REGULAR" CD-R DISKS TO RECORD IN THIS MACHINE. So, the best way to make or copy CDs is with a computer with a burning drive --- as most have these days. In most cases, a computer is less expensive. And it is certainly more flexible.
