I agree w/ Tan43 -- use your computer. Of course, you'll want a good burner unit like a Lite-On or equal; and good burning software, like Nero or equal.
There is some merit to the idea that CD copies sound better than the originals. The (supposed) reason is that the "pits" in commercial CD's are actually physical HOLES in the metal which refract laser light which can degrade the data retrieval somewhat. Whereas a "burned" copy is exactly that -- and the "pits" are actually just burned "spots" which no longer reflect the laser light, but do not scatter it!
Or maybe I have it all backwards? I can't remember!!
