Please Help!!!!!!!

Hoping someone can help. I don't even understand the glossary. I am interested in replacing my pc and getting one that includes a burner. I play no instrument. I am interested in downloading sound files from the internet and burning them and burning from one cd to another. First question, is this possible? Second, Ive seen adds with towers that appear to have two cd drives, do they really or do all just have one? Is this what I would need for either of the things I want to do? Do I need any addtional equipment/software? What is the type of drive I'm looking for called CDR CDWR? Please keep the answer simple or it will go way over my head. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I have your standard cd player and a cd burner in my tower, it is quite common now for even mid priced computer to come with this configuration. They also come with the software to burn from the standard to the burner with ease.
 
If you want to copy existing CD's, would be a good idea to have a one for playing and one for burnin. If your just going to burn from downloads all you need is the cdrw. But a plain ol 52x player is very cheap now........might as well have both
 
Your basic CD-rom on your comp should be able to play the CD's .........so you just need a burner.......and you probably don't need a new computer............If that's all your getting a new comp for................You could just keep the computer you have and get an external CD burner..........hook it up to a USB bus or something if you have the right connectors on the back of your tower.......

Or if you have an open drive-bay, just put a cd burner in there.....

If your going to get a new comp, just for burning CD's ....and I wouldn't be so quick to do that....First I would check if your computer has the standard connections in the back that allow you to hook up an external CD burner...........go online and look at external cd burners and how they hook up....there are several different ways for them to hook into your computer and chances are you have one of them if your comp isn't that old....
