How do I record my voice to a CD?

I want to create a CD of me reading books. My daughter can then play the CD of my voice and flip the pages.

Can my iMac record me reading a book and then burn that to a CD? How do I record? Through iSight? iTunes?

Thank you for your help.

MacBook Pro, 2g Intel Dual Core, 2g RAM, ATI x1600

Hello,

If you have QuickTIme Pro, you can choose to record audio by going to File>New Audio Recording.

Or you can use iMovie HD to record a video, but then you can right-click on the video and extract the audio. Then you delete the video part and go on Share>Quicktime. When it has been exported, open it in iTunes and convert to MP3.

You can then create a playlist of your selected books and Burn Disc.
