Listen Up, Copycats

The latest CD recorder from harman/kardon shows the company has learned its lessons from earlier-generation models, which some consumers found difficult to operate. On the CDR30 it's now as easy to dub a single track onto CD as it is to copy an entire disc, and all copying can be done at four times normal speed. The new machine can also play (but not record) computer discs containing MP3 music files.
