That is what I use it for that was the main reason I bought it, because I wanted to put some old records on CD. I don't use it for books because I have braille note. This is the only machine that a blind person for recording CD. I have a Philips CD recorder in my sterio and it is not user friendly for a blind person. My brother says it isn't user friendly for the sighted ei. Also recordings sound alful. When you copy a CD on the Philips the sound drops tremendously. I have done lots of recording with the PTR1 and it sounds wonderful. My friends Aoll love the CDs recordings that I have made for them. They sound so good in their cars. So you can't really say you cant use the PTR1 for recording CD's.
