CD burner = grabadora de CD
De hecho, en la jerga coloquial informática (por lo menos en España\" se dice \"tostar\":
Tostar un CD, tostadora de CD...
Por cierto, a los CD que no se han \"tostado\" bien, o que han salido con errores, se los llama \"posavasos\" (porque no sirven para otra cosa).

Saludos, Vanina.
Hope it helps!

Siguiendo con lo del posavasos, parece que en inglés tb. se dice (si cuando dicen que todo está inventado, por algo será):

A lot of things can go wrong when you\'re burning a CD, so don\'t be surprised if some of them don\'t come out right. Since CD-Rs can not be overwritten, any irreversible mistake means you\'ll have to junk the whole disc. Among the CD-burning set, this is called \"making a coaster,\" as that\'s pretty much all you can do with the damaged CD.
