Do you need a drive with the ability to "burn" or is reading enough?

As far as I know, all drives that can handle DVDs also handle CDs.

There are a whole lot of different kinds of drives:

- CD, read-only
- CD, read / write
- CD & DVD, read-only
- CD read / write, DVD read-only
- CD read / write, DVD read-write

There was a war about the way writeable DVDs should work.  The two
standards were DVD-R and DVD+R.

I think DVD+R won.  Usually you don't have to worry about this.

Then there are some drives that can handle BluRay discs.
