About digitization

[yoc at duke.edu]

I'm a graduate student working on a natural recording study between mothers
and babies. We have a lot of valuable data recorded on audio tapes and they
are getting old. We'd like to digitize these tapes and save them onto CDs.
We have CD-rewritable in our lab. However, we first need to record the
sounds into the computer hard drive and make sound files and then move them
onto CDs. It takes quite long time and labor, but all we need is to move
all the data from audio tapes onto CD. Editing sounds is not necessary. So,
we are wondering whether there is a way we can directly digitize sounds
from audio tapes into CDs without going through saving them on a hard
drive.

Is there a way or a program that will allow us to do this?  We'd very much
appreciate any information regarding this.

Thank you,
