content: This is a fantastic product! I am NOT a "technical" guy, so I was a bit apprehensive when I ordered the CD Songwriter. Was I happily surprised! I took it out of the box, read the easy-to-follow directions, plugged it in and---immediately---I was rocking the house with LP's and cassettes I literally hadn't heard in years.The CD player and radio are likewise terrific---simple to use and the sound is great. Burning CD's (use blank CD-R's, not CD-RW's) is also a snap. A Rick Springfield cassette I bought in 1985 sounds brand-new burned onto CD with the Crosley Songwriter. A Dylan Thomas poetry album my mom bought in the 1950s likewise sounds crystal-clear on a newly-burned CD.I am so pleased with this Songwriter, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! Baby Boomers & Gen-X'ers, treat yourselves to this wonderful machine and rediscover your music collection!
