I'm thinking of setting myself up to burn audio CDs, and I need some advice on what hardware will work with FreeBSD. I'd much appreciate any comments or suggestions! There are two things I'm thinking about buying right now. One is a CD burner; I know I want to get one of those. The other is another sound card, because I can't seem to get my GUS MAX to record at 16 bits; but I'm still debating whether I actually want to take the plunge on that. My priorities for the CD burner are: it needs to be able to do audio tracks, and it needs to be well-supported, but I don't care about speed. I was thinking of the JVC 2Xwrite/4Xread SCSI-2 burner; what are people's opinions on that? Can it write audio tracks? My priorities for the sound card are: Low noise, high quality for recording, don't care about playing or MIDI. I also don't have DOS installed, so it needs to work completely under FreeBSD. Is anything from Gravis generally good? How about Turtle Beach? Yamaha? Or am I just better off trying harder to get my GUS MAX working? Any kind of feedback is *much* appreciated :-) Thanks a lot! ~Ben
