No streaming here. Refuse to pay for data. Get 3 gigs a month and that is enough for what I use. Kids pay about 80 bucks a month for their cell bills, mine is 15 bucks a month and its going to stay that way.

Yes it can be programmed for serial copy management.

​@@12voltvidsHey Dave fantastic score on a pro unit 😃. I have two consumer units one is a Pioneer, I don't recall the model it is a single well. The other is a Yamaha and get this it is like a dual cassette deck, the (deck A) left side is a player (CDs and CDRWs no MP3s, deck B records and plays, obviously right? It doesn't play MP3s either as far as I know. The Yamaha has a keyboard (PS/2) jack. You can plug a PC keyboard in and type the CD Title and song tracks rather than using that agerfrithen twisty knob on your unit. Both are those serial copy management system (SCMS) and require the CDR and CDRW discs or neither machine will record. I tried the swippy swappy thing like the guy you were talking about and well the machine showed it recorded and even played what I recorded until I ejected the disc LOL. Evidently it recognized the disc wasn't a CDRW for audio and recked the table of contents to make it unplayable in itself or other machines. I almost decided to purchase a commercial stand alone music CDR and CDRW machine. But for a very young guy not much out of highschool I didn't have the funds. Now looking back I'm glad I didn't get it because I can burn all types of discs in the computer drive and oddly the computer drives (or at least some) don't like the dedicated CDR for music discs. I tried a CDRW for audio and seemed to write fine however it didn't play in a CDRW compatible player. Go figure LOL anyway enjoy your excellent new dedicated music CDR/RW standard disc machine. Ohhhhh I used the ones I have quite a bit and it was extremely annoying because the clipped some songs I tried recording so aggravating. I was told the pro/commercial units have a buffer that prevented the cut off at the start of some songs. As I understood it took as much as a half a second to actually start recording from record/pause mode which is what caused the clip/cut of the start in some circumstances. Not an issue using the 🖥️ it never clipped the start of what I wrote to any of my discs. Perhaps you can check out the ins and outs of your to see if the pro units have that issue. Being a commercial unit I'm guessing they ensured that the start of songs didn't get cut off. Best wishes for you as you are fighting that nasty COVID at the moment. All the best to you my friend. Get well soon.

@@darinb.3273 from what i understand the disk swap had to be done and the full disk recorded without stopping it or ejecting and then the disk finalized in the same session. Perhaps it works only on some machines.

@@12voltvids A late reply back from me LOL. It wasn't enough for me to try it again, I was happy I didn't have to do any of it in real time. For me it was a passing thought to try it and see what happened. I completely agree it may be specific to each machine or perhaps I wasn't holding my mouth right when I was experimenting. A long time ago I found a 100 pack spindle of CD-Rs that could be used in the computer or stand alone audio CD-R recorders. They are those light green dye type, I forget what the name of it. I like the dark blue dye (don't remember what that dye is called either) the contrast was much easier for human eyes to see. Whether it made any difference to the CD machines who knows. You having an O-scope could look at the clarity of the eye pattern and compare the differences in the dye types of the discs. And of course the CD-RW too. That would be a super cool video to watch.

In reality those are fine if you have cdrw audio disks. Use them to make your compilation from analog source then just burn a copy on the computer or rip them on computer. The ad converter on these machines is better then any ad converter in sound cards for sure. As long as you have a few cdrw music disks you are good to go.

Yes i know and the fee charged on the music disks have a higher fee charged. That's the beauty of this recorder as it uses the lower prices computer grade disks. I have that memorex all on one that records fantastic when given external audio from the aux input. I also use DVD and bdr regularly

A ps2 keyboard can be plugged into this one.

Reminds me of smart guys that experience a tazer first hand. They look pretty stunned too.

Tascam is Teac. One of the best cassette decks I own in a teac v850. 3 heads dolby b c and dbx, auto tape bias, fantastic sound. Made hundreds of tapes back in the day.

@@12voltvids Yup, I'm aware they're the same company. Just saying you can sometimes get a better deal on TASCAM stuff by buying the TEAC equivalent. The other good thing about the newer CD recorders is you can use just about any SATA DVD burner in them that will fit (the Sony drive they use is shorter than some of the computer ones) so servicing is very easy. Build quality on the ones made in the last few years though is suspect, they're adopting the Chinesium practice of using hot snot to keep the poor quality header connectors from coming loose.

Tascam is Teac. It's their professional division sold mainly to musicians and recording studios.

@@12voltvids Exact. Precisely for this reason it would be important to understand whether this TEAC drive can be replaced by Samsung drives (or Sony or Hitachi or others) in the event of a failure or whether the CDRW900SL has a control logic that requires that precise TEAC model, rejecting others. ​

@@claudiogatti5529 couldn't tell you but i would imagine it is probably model specific

@@12voltvids There's a CDRW900 on Ebay here in the UK that has had it's drive replaced with a generic laptop drive, so looks like it is possible to replace it if the drive fails. Has a buy it now price of £140.

@@kevinh96 that's good to know.

Longest CDR I have is 80 min 700 MB. I was aware that a few companies made some out of spec discs that do not conform to the orange book. Playback on CD players not guaranteed because they record beyond the read out track limit.

I had an SLP50 that had VU meters on it. I gave it away about 12 years ago for 600.00

Car CD player is slot load, it's 12 years old and has not been an issue and i wouldn't call a car a clean room.

I'll get some use out of it I'm sure.

I have hundreds of CDs and albums.

Maybe. It depends on level setting. My Philips CDR830 displayed "Bit Perfect" exactly one time, ever, in spite of my efforts to set it correctly.

Yes

Most people use Spotify? I dont know 1 person personally that uses it. Everyone i know just downloads from KZfaq and saves it to their computer then copies to their phone or puts on USB stick to listen on their car. Must be a gen z or millennial thing because my circle of friends certainly don't pay for all these subscriptions. Never get ahead in life tied to monthly subscriptions.

Why would something catch file? There are no ignition sources on my bench.

Why would a cluttered workspace make it catch on fire. That’s crazy.
