[CD writer] A common term for a computer-based CD recorder. CD writers can be either external or internal, for installation inside a computer's unused drive bay. Some computers now come with an internal CD writer already installed. 3, record 1, English, - CD%20writer

Computer-based CD writers are often called CD burners for a very simple reason. CD burners (or writers) actually heat small areas on the CD-R surface, which changes the reflectivity of the recording dye layer. 3, record 1, English, - CD%20writer

Les utilisateurs d'ordinateurs ont été les premiers à créer des CD chez eux [...] Deux types de graveurs de CD sont disponibles. Les graveurs de CD-R, qui utilisent des disques inscriptibles une seule fois, ou de CD-R/CD-RW, qui acceptent aussi bien des disques inscriptibles une seule fois que des disques CD-RW réinscriptibles. [...] L'enregistrement d'un CD sur ordinateur s'effectue de deux manières : directement sur le graveur de CD, ou sur le disque dur. L'enregistrement à l'aide du lecteur de disque dur offre l'avantage d'un contrôle maximal de la musique avant gravure. 4, record 1, French, - graveur%20de%20CD

People often used the term CD recorder to describe a particular type of CD recording deck - a standalone CD recorder used for recording music CDs at home. Their main advantage compared to a computer-based CD recorder setup is ease of use - a home CD recorder connects to an audio system and makes recordings as easily as using a standard cassette deck. 1, record 4, English, - CD%20recorder

Comparés aux platines de défilement conventionnelles, les lecteurs autonomes de CD-R et de CD-R/CD-RW présentent l'avantage d'enregistrer des copies numérique-numérique à partir de sources numériques telles qu'un CD, un minidisque, une cassette DAT ou la sortie d'un magnétophone numérique à plusieurs pistes. De plus, si vous enregistrez à partir d'une source analogique telle qu'un 33 tours ou une cassette, les enregistreurs de CD offrent une transcription très précise [...] Les CD vierges conçus pour les graveurs de CD informatique ne fonctionnent pas dans des lecteurs autonomes, car ils n'entraînent le paiement d'aucune redevance. 1, record 4, French, - enregistreur%20de%20CD%20autonome
