I am no expert in this area, but the opinions you've been getting aren't consistent with my understanding of GoldWave. True, GoldWave enables you to record onto the PC, create a file of that recording and do some very nice editing. However, GoldWave is not a burning program, meaning that it isn't designed to enable copying onto a CD. For that part of the process, you need separate software. One lister says he has Roxio installed on his Dell and that it can burn CDs. I also have a Dell, but sadly not that program. I'm sure others will correct me if I misstate the case. I haven't reached the CD burning stage yet and so can offer no thoughts about the software that would best serve those needs. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith Bron To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 10:34 AM Subject: Re: recording voice on CD Thanks Brian, happy holidays to your entire family! ----- Original Message ----- From: Dreamer To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 10:00 AM Subject: Re: recording voice on CD Judith, This can be done by using any version of Gold Wave. You can use your computers built in mike, if it has one, or an external mike. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

I'm sure that this question sounds crazy but I need to know. Much thanks, Judith
