I am using this program and am able to burn a cd with it. Have you downloaded the latest version of the program from Acoustica? I am using Ver 4.72 (Build 154). This added something called a Primo Burn Engine (???). Go to File, Preferences and under general preferences go to CD Rip/Burn and check Primo. Does general preferences recognize your cd drive? Mine recognizes my internal cd burner and my external dvd/cd burner but when I click on "burn cde" the external is not recognized as a choice.
Hope this helps.
