Query: Why you should buy CDs

This device pretty much does what it says it will, but their is a caveat, of course. If your vinyl isn't in mint condition, and I mean PRISTINE, it's not worth owning this turntable. The included software is capable of removing the snap, crackle and pop from a new album, but older records are a disaster. Perhaps if you are a professional, with all the time in the world to perfect a recording, this turntable might be the ticket. However, for the casual user that just wishes to tranfer his vinyl to CD, this gizmo is a lot like work. It takes well over an hour to record an album, work the kinks out, and burn a CD. If you make your own labels, add another 30 minutes. The time spent to money saved ratio is absurd. Instead of buying this turntable, blank CDs, jewel cases, labels, and ink, just go on eBay and buy the CDs for cheap.
