CD to CD recording machine

[crankedup]

As an old school hifi numpty I hope the wise ones can point me in the right direction.
I play my CD's on a amaranth player through my trusty old NAD 3130. Now I would like to record favourite tracks from my CD collection onto 'blank CD's'. can you please advise me as to what I need to buy to be able to accomplish this. Smaller the budget the better. Thanks all inputs and advise appreciated.

Use a PC.

Seriously, using a clunky machine to pause recordings while putting a cd in another player is a nightmare.
Been there, done that.

Thanks, but I only have an apple ipad, no facility for CD.

Pick up a Sony RCD-W3. That is what I used to use and it is a great unit. There are also others in that range.

Be warned though, that data blanks will not work - you need consumer blanks..

The cheapest and easiest option would be to find a PC, any one with a CD drive would do - second hand, a friend or relative's perhaps - then use iTunes or similar to rip all of your music to the hard drive, create playlists for your favourite tracks and burn those to blank discs. The time consuming part will be sitting there feeding it the discs, but it doesn't require much effort. If it all seems too complicated, are you able to ask someone to assist? Perhaps in return for a small payment?

Thank you for all suggestions, all sorted now.

Don't use iTunes, it's a steaming turd of a program...use something similar, like dbpoweramp.
