question about recording audio cd

[cf1]

I'm planning to buy a cd-rw and I notice some
of them come with software and some without.
Do I really need the software to record audio cd's?

You will need some kind of software to do the job. That which comes with the better drives is capable of several different storage protocols. I don't suggest you get a bare drive, borrow someone's software, and use the drive to clone the programs for yourself. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
