you'll have to excuse my ignorance on the recording studio thingymajig......but wouldn't the whole idea of a digital recording studion be that you could hook it up to a pc or laptop......and use either an internal/external cd writer with it?

Ya, but i dont have a pc at home, and no real need for one and was wondering if this would be a cheaper alternative...
Let me get this straight, you want to use a PC accessory, without a pc?
Don't you see a problem here?
The 8 track I have has a hard drive (of some sort, it saves onto zip disks). I dont have a clue about these things, so i was wondering if it would be possible to hook up an external CD Writer to my 8 track recorder without the use of a PC.

Highly unlikely, a cd writer will need to be driven by software, ie, Nero.

OK fair enough. If I was to look into getting a PC at home, what kind of a package should I go for so? I want fairly good quality and obviously i`m looking for a cd writer but i`m not looking to spend stupid money on anything either...

You could run a half decent cd writer on a gammy oul win98 box...
if you really wanted to scrimp that is.

Nice one. Last question so, my ignorance must be irritating you at this stage.... how much is a half decent CD Writer? Any particular make? Also, can any computer read a Zip disk or what?

Well to read a zip disk you'll need a zip drive,
I think there are 2 diff types of zip drive, a 250MB and a 750MB.
Neither should cost more than 50 to 80 notes retail.
An internal cd writer should be less than 40 euro or so,
external maybe a bit more. Depends on the speed of the writer,
and the USb type.
I'm not even sure if you can buy a usb 1.1 writer anymore,
they're slower, perhaps 15 mins ot burn a cd.
USB2 writers will burn a cd in 2-3 mins.
But you'll need to make sure the machine has usb2 first.
