Looking for a decent CD Recorder

Philips CDR778  and  harman/kardon CDR30 . I have both and they work very well.

Try this if looking for a new unit.

The one already installed in your computer should suffice for the purpose and intent that you describe because the signal to noise ratio that is obtained in a motor vehicle is insufficient to support critical listening in anyway.

The best one I found for the money was the TASCAM SS-CDR200. If you look at the **recording** specs (not playback) the 200 is much better than the cheaper 900 series. Off by only less than 1 dB from Redbook spec. Analog or digital inputs. Can record LP's, files or Cd's to disc or to Wave jump drive (16/48k). Either way the sound is very good.

I would skip the CD recorder. CD recorders are becoming legacy units.

Would suggest you buy a tascam flash recorder. Record to an SD card, then transfer the files to a PC where you can write them to a CDR.

If you are set on a CD recorder, two worthy of consideration are the Sony CDRW33 and CDRW66. Both are discontinued but you can pick them up on the used market.
