Hi David

If iTunes recognises your disk writer it can burn the CDs for you.
If only iTunes had a record button too.

Otherwise, maybe Disc Burner can create an Audio CD from a recorded "aif".
Toast certainly can.

Pro Tools Free will record it fairly easily, it might seem a complicated application but you only want to record, so if you pretty much ignore the rest it shouldn't be too hard.

I've never tried the help myself but I'm sure it'll have some recording instructions. Pro Tools is mainly for recording anyway, it has buttons similar to a tape deck including the record button.

You can try versiontracker.com or hitsquad.com for other freeware.

Good luck
Paul
