have had 2 stand alone burners and have used them successfully. 1 was a classic which I bought at Circuit City, and a Sony machine which is similar in operation to the way Sony home mini disc machines operate. I don't recall the model number of the Sony, but you can dub a disc, record from a tape machine and a digital source such as toslink or spdif. -- "mimi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There is no way anyone can tell a blind person if a CD recorder will be accessible to them. The only thing I have found useful and accessible is the CD burner program and the use of a burner on the computer. I had a bad deal with a stand-alone recorder and took it back to the store only to be told there was nothing wrong with it. After I bought a CD burner two years ago I discovered why the stand-alone does not record: The record tray is in the wrong side of the machine. That's right: The wrong side. There is no way I can fix that, and to take it somewhere else to get that fixed, they'll charge you $75 before they even open it up. I think it's ridiculous. I called Aiwa to tell them I have a defective stand-alone recorder, and nobody believes me. It is not accessible to a blind person, and I had those people tell me several times how to do this and do that to get it to record, but it's no good if the record tray is in the wrong side of the machine to begin with. That's why I'll never buy anything at Fry's Electronics anymore. But I also realize it could have happened somewhere else. So, I just use it as a backup CD player. Anyone working in any electronics store would not know if everything would be accessible or useful for a blind person. Unfortunately, you have to check it out yourself and probably lose money in the long run. I lost $250 on this rotten deal. If I had known I should have gotten a CD burner in the first place for the computer, I would not have monkeyed around with a stand-alone.
