The Crosley "Producer" is the newest addition too Crosley's Nostalgic CD Recording Entertainment Centers.

How does the Crosley "Producer" compare to the most famous of all Nostalgic CD Recording Entertainment Centers, the great Crosley "Songwriter"?

First, if it is the most authentic Nostalgic Look that you crave, you need look no further than the Crosley "Producer".

The Producer takes the Retro Heritage Nostagic look to the next level. Crosley wanted to add a Nostalgic Radio look of the forties to its new CD Recording Center. What better way to accomplish that than by adding the Classic forties Airplane Radio Dial with its back lite display, to its new Crosley "Producer". If you want to take a trip back to the "Good Ole Radio Days" the Producer is the way to go.

Crosley, after achieving the classic radio look, wanted to recreate the radio cabinet of the "Golden Days of Radio", so they went back in time and design to the days of mission styled furniture. Mission style furniture derived its origins from a desire to create furniture and accessories that were pure in form and lacked a lot of ornamentation. The mission statement stressed the importance of preserving the simplistic nature of hand crafted products. Expertly combining form and function, the mission style is one characterized by natural, unpainted woods and other earthy materials. It leaves no room for confusion between its stylings and those characteristic of insignificant clutter. This arts and crafts movement is beautifully embodied in Crosley's "Producer". Handsomely showcased in a solid wood and veneer cabinet, the Producer stays true to the simplistic nature of design with smooth straight lines and rich edges.

The radio design and overall nostalgic look goes to the "Producer" over the "Songwriter".

If you would like to forever preserve your Cassette Collection in addtion to your Record Collection, then you go with the "Songwriter", as the "Producer" does not have a Cassette Player. The Songwriter has a full Function Cassette Deck in its 5-in-1 entertainment center.

If you have Cassettes, then you go with the "Songwriter" over the "Producer".

If you are going to use the "Producer" or the "Songwriter" as your Main Source of playback of your Records, CDs and Radio, then the edge goes to the "Songwriter". The "Songwriter" allows you to pre-select your favorite radio stations and puts them into memory, so you can change stations with the touch of a button on the remote control. The "Producer" does not have that feature.

The "Songwriter" also has a built-in graphic equalizer, which allows you to listen to different styles of music the way they were meant to be listened to.
