i am questioning

my buying power, should i purchase a cd burner that i plug into my stereo that burns three discs to one, or should i get one that i can plug into my computer and burn as many as i want. i will give you arguments on both. if i buy the one that plugs into the stereo, it would a) give me a three disc changer, b) be able to go with me to school, but c) run a higher risk of getting stolen, and d) is expensive. the external burner for my computer will a) let me create a cd with as many artists as i can find, b) be able to plug into any computer with a usb port, but c) i’m not taking a computer to school, so i’d have to use the lab’s or find a friends computer to do this task, and d) is inexpensive. i think i’m going to check out the three disc changer and see if i can, while one cd is recording, change the other cd’s out. i’m going to costco to see what kind of external burners they have, i’m also going to see if they have the new weezer cheaper than other places.
