You need two things to burn your music to a CD:
  1. An internal or external CD-RW drive that is connected to the computer you use to play your music.
  2. A blank CD disc that is compatible with the write speed of your CD-RW drive, and that is able to record audio files (CD-R or CD-RW). Please refer to the blank CD packaging and read the documentation that came with your CD-RW drive if you have questions.

How to Burn a CD

Follow the steps below to burn your music to a CD using:

  • Windows Media™ Player:

  1. Open Windows Media Player
  2. Select Burn Tab at top of Window
  3. In the left pane, select the playlist in your library that contains the songs you want to burn. After you do, the number of songs and total time will be displayed at the bottom of the pane.
  4. To add or to remove songs from the playlist, click Edit Playlist. Add additional songs from your library or clear the check boxes for the song you want to remove. Change the song order by clicking and dragging the song into position.
  5. Insert a blank CD-R in your CD-RW drive.
  6. To change CD settings, such as the CD write speed or quality level, Click the small triangle at the bottom of the Burn tab and select More Options
  7. In the right pane, Click Start Burn.
  • iTunes®

    1. Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the CD, and make sure all the songs you want to include on the CD have a checkmark beside them.
    2. Click Burn CD (at the bottom of the iTunes window) and insert a blank CD-R in your CD-RW drive. If the playlist contains more songs than will fit on the CD, iTunes burns only the number of songs that fit on one disc, and then asks you to insert another disc to continue burning the remaining songs.

Note: While you can use CD-RW discs, we advise you use CD-R discs as many optical CD players do not support CD-RW discs. If using a CD-RW disc that already has songs or data on it, click Erase Disk to erase the CD.

It's best not to use your computer or run other programs on your computer while burning a CD.

Most other media players will burn MP3 files to a CD as well. Please follow the user instructions for your media player.
 

   
To Play the Burned CD
When you burn an audio CD, you can play the CD on any optical CD player that plays music (e.g., your car stereo, home audio system, boombox, computer or portable CD player).
