Thanks for the CD recording Info! (re deleting/changing) Great answers! But One More Question Please ???

Question

From two earlier questions today (Sunday, November 26, 2006) re whether one can change/delete information on a CD recording..

The other party put the conversation between the two of us on a CD using another computer of course. Now, how did he record our conversation to make the CD? Did he have a special program or softwear that allowed him to record our conversation in order to make the CD?
Did he tape it first perhaps allowing him to make changes before he:burned" it?
After he made it he sent it to me the following day.
(I hope I made the question clear enough.)
and thank you all once again.

Here are my other two questions that were answered earlier. I am sorry I just don't know too much about CD's but I am learning. I appreciate everyone's help.
Thank you.

lst Question
"How easy or difficult it would be to alter/change/delete info on a CD recording of a verbal conversation?...
that lasted nearly an hour?"

2nd Question:
"What exactly does "burning" a CD mean?

Answer 1

1. Using any recording device such as a micro-cassette player, or digital recorder he could've captured the conversation. Using a special cord you can buy at Radio Shack, you can hook the micro-cassette to your computer sound card, and import and save the conversation into the computer.
2. Using software such as MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 11, you can then edit the conversation, take pieces out, move other pieces around, save, and then burn it onto a CD.
3. "Burning," is a term that came about because a laser (associated with burning) is used to record the information on a disk.

Answer 2

1st one Can only be done if you used a CD-RW (rewritable CD)

2nd one Burning a CD is writing data or information or music or anything else on a CD
