Compact disc recorder

Abstract

Disclosed is a compact disc recording device that includes a housing, sound receiving means for receiving audio signals, a compact disc recorder for recording onto a compact disc, and data storage structure in the housing for storing audio signals. The compact disc recording device is configured such that a music library of sound tracks is storable in the data storage structure, and the compact disc recording device includes means for selecting a set of sound tracks from the music library to be recorded onto a compact disc by the compact disc recorder. The housing includes a display which identifies at least one sound track of the music library.

1 . A compact disc recording device comprising: a housing; an audio data receiver arranged to receive audio data from outside the housing; a compact disc recorder located at least partially within the housing for recording onto a compact disc; and data storage memory located at least partially within the housing for storing audio data received from outside the housing, said compact disc recording device configured such that a music library of sound tracks is storable in digital form in the data storage memory, said compact disc recording device including at least one manually operable function controller on the housing, said compact disc recording device configured such that said music library is organizable into at least one group of sound tracks wherein a group of sound tracks comprises at least one sound track from the music library, wherein said compact disc recording device is configured such that said at least one manually operable function controller is useable to select a group of sound tracks to be recorded onto a compact disc and to record said group of sound tracks onto a compact disc using said compact disc recorder.  
   
   
       2 . A compact disc recording device as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising audio output structure located at least partially within the housing for outputting audio signals, wherein said compact disc recording device is configured such that said at least one manually operable function controller is useable to play at least one of a sound track and a group of sound tracks stored in the data storage memory through the audio output structure.  
   
   
       3 . A compact disc recording device as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising an amplifier located at least partially within the housing.  
   
   
       4 . A compact disc recording device as recited in  claim 3 , said compact disc recording device configured such that sound tracks stored in the data storage memory are selectively playable through the audio output structure.  
   
   
       5 . A compact disc recording device as recited in  claim 4 , further comprising at least one manually operable function controller, configured such that said manually operable function controller is operable to adjust an output gain of said audio signals output through the audio output structure by said compact disc recording device.  
   
   
       6 . A compact disc recording device comprising: a housing; an audio data receiver arranged to receive audio data from outside the housing; a compact disc recorder located at least partially within the housing for recording onto a compact disc; an analog-to-digital convertor connected to said audio data receiver for converting said audio data received from outside the housing into digital form for recording onto said compact disc; said compact disc recording device including at least one manually operable function controller useable for initiating recording onto the compact disc; further comprising at least one manually operable function controller useable for setting an input gain of the audio data received through the audio data receiver.  
   
   
       7 . A compact disc recording device as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising means on the housing for receiving signals from a wireless remote control.
