     I believe most of the 16-bit sound cards can do this.

     However, the problem with recording "CD quality audio" is that
doing so uses up about TEN MEGABYTES of disk space for EACH MINUTE of
recording.  Recording a typical song will require 30-50 MB of disk
space, which most people cannot afford.  Also note that you need a FAST,
UNFRAGMENTED hard disk to do this.
