I'm sure you can find an old standalone CD burner for cheap as most
people have moved on from these.  How well a 5-10 year old unit will
work is debatable, but it might be worth a shot.  I know HHB made

DVD-wise, I am unaware of a standalone DVD burner that will allow the
creation of an audio-only program on a DVD without the aid of a computer.
