A CD recorder for archiving LP's?


Can anyone recommend a good CD player/recorder. I have thousands of LP's and I would like to transfer some of them to CD so I could listen to them in the car. My analog rig is a VPI with the Aries 2 platter and an SME arm/Clearaudio cartridge. Thanks

Archiving LPs on CD is folly. (sorry, it is!!)
The LP will be playable 50 more years from now, as good as today. Your CD will be useless: folks are having trouble getting burned CDs to last a few years... let alone a lifetime (this RANT does not include manufactured CDs where the pits are molded into the plastic, just the CD burner variety)
Ahhh ignore my comments about Archiving LPs... Returning from the 'other planet' I was temporarily on, I see you are just asking about Cds for using in your car... Duh I am a moron...
I actually agree with one of Elizabeth's comments. CD-Rs can become unplayable after a few years. Also transferring 1000s of records is a very time consuming process. You'll have to record, edit (add stop/start index points), burn and then produce labels indicating the names of the albums/songs. Count on it taking nearly 2x the running time of the record. I would be wary to commit the amount of time needed to complete such a project if the final storage medium wasn't permanent. The Alesis Masterlink is an excellent machine for what you want to do, but I would strongly suggest that you burn a full resolution back up disc and transfer them to a computer hard drive. That way you'll have two copies 24/96 plus the 16/44 disc for normal CD playback. You can't be too rich, too thin or have enough back up copies.
