Thanks Gboren I'll check it out and get back. I really don't see how the settings have anything to do with a straight copy from one cd to another and have never found this to be a problem in the past with other computer based cdr's. Furthermore on each copy I attempted to make, I did the laborious scan mode for defects prior to copying. The unit just may well be defective.
Dell purchase
Hi folks,
I am considering buying a Dell computer. I don't have a strong desire to *play* music through my computer, but I would like to be able to copy CDs, and especially record my LPs to CD. I'd want to experiment and see the quality.
Dell offers a CD/CDR/CDW device with their machines. No brand name listed! (Just "Dell"). Any sense of the quality for these purposes?
Also they offer a choice of two "premium" sound cards. I understand sound card quality is important when recording from analog sources. Choices are: the Sound Blaster "Live" (this is a step down from the top-of-the-line soundblaster) and the "Turtle Beach Santa Cruz". Any thoughts on these two sound cards?
Or are these parts too low-quality, such that I should just buy a "bare" box and add better quality parts?
Thanks for any thoughts!
