02 CDs at Home
There are two types of computer based CD recorders.
"Duplicating CDs at home is the cheapest way to get your CDs, however unless your CD-R recorder is good, you may have quality problems on other players."

The most common are CD-R drives which use disks that can only be written to once. So if something goes wrong, you have to bin the disk and use a new, blank one.
There are also CD-RW drives which will write to the use-once type of disks but can also handle rewritables.
Rewritable blanks are slightly more expensive and regular CD players may have a problem playing them.
Most cats use CD-Rs for public use and CD-RWs for working with.
To make audio CDs on a computer you will also need special software, such as Adaptec 'Toast' or Sonic Foundry 'SoundForge'.
If you don't have a computer, you can buy stand-alone CD recorders. These usually look like ordinary CD players but cost more.
