I've visited the Zoom website, but it's not clear to me what the device actually does. What kind of recordings does it make? mp3? wav? audio?

If I have a computer and a CD burner, will it make a CD that can be played in a CD player, such as the one in my car?

Some people may laugh, but I prefer the familiarity and convenience of "a round thing" such as a CD to anything else. (Thanks to columnist Dave Barry for the 'round thing' terminology. Vinyl records, cassette tapes and CD's are all rounds things.)
