No, you do not need a iMic.
I got one because my iBook only has sound out, so that let me have
sound in through the USB.
It is a good little product and gives you flexibility.
I do recommend the Griffin grounding cable.
Nero is a Windows product.
Haven't tries ADS, saw it at Compusmart before.
Toast is awesome as well as the other software mentioned in the
articles - it is a personal preference, just try them out as demos.
