u can buy regular cd(rw) burners....some dvd drives have good cd\dvd compatibility...i use an reg. cd burner(5 years old) but i use a nec dvd burner to do some also.....just depends..plextor has always had cd issues when it comes to burning....

a lite-on160/165 or a pioneer to a good solid job....probably be better off just buying an all-in-one...as long as its good solid drive
