Summary: not as useful as I'd hoped
Review: I picked up one of these thinking I'd have any easy way to copy my band's demos and make our own CDr albums, but to burn without multiple unlistenable errors you have to copy slow at 4x and I have had problems even with that. The unit is being returned to the manufacturer for warranty service - they have been responsive - so hopefully it is just an easy repair. (Sep 13, 04)

Alera replaced the writer and upgraded the firmware. So far it seems to have corrected the problem! Hopefully I can get some use out of this now without worrying about errors, in which case, this rocks... (Oct 15, 04)

Review: With the CD Copy Cruiser Stand Alone CD Duplicator you have the convenience of simple one touch operation or the choice of using powerful duplicating tools when you need them. CD duplicating professionals and serious users must have the flexibility to control CD duplicating processes over a very wide range of variables. You may want to reduce copy speed to reproduce the highest quality audio, or your blank media may be certified at less than the maximum recording speed. Many times source discs are of questionable quality or have been created in a way that makes duplication difficult. Alera Technologies, innovator of Prosumers' Choice products, has designed the CD Copy Cruiser with its Cruise Control 100 professional CD Duplicator Controller to put you in control. You can adjust speeds and other copy functions, verify the copies after they are made, simulate the copy process without actually burning media and much more with a complete menu of tools necessary for making successful copies and improving yields. Or you can simply push "Copy" for a quick, easy duplicate disc. Without these features a CD duplicator can have very limited uses.
Now you can compile your own custom audio CDs with the CD Copy Cruiser without a computer, as well as duplicate CDs at speeds up to 52x. The advanced features of the CD Copy Cruiser make it the right choice for your computer room, entertainment center and your office or business. Its distinctive "Professional Black" look fits anywhere and is available only from Alera Technologies.
