Audio CD player/recorders are sold by audio-component companies such as JVC, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, and Sony.

Dual-tray models. One tray is for play/record, another for play. Price range: $130 to $700.

Changer models. These typically hold four or five discs and allow you to change the discs while one is playing. Price range: $200 to $1,500.

Computer CD burners. A CD-recording drive in a computer lets you copy other CDs or download music from the Internet and record it on CD. Price range: Standard with many new computers. A drive can be added to older computers for about $100, including software.

The relatively low cost of burning high-quality CDs makes CD recording a good alternative to making cassette tapes. If you're buying a CD player/recorder, a changer has advantages over a single-disc model and needn't cost much more. Its multidisc magazine or carousel will make it easy to record compilation CDs or to play uninterrupted music.
