BURNING A MUSIC CD

If you have a recordable CD drive (called a CD burner) in your PC, you can make your own audio mix CDs. You can take any combination of songs on your hard disk; "burn" them onto a blank CD; and then play that CD in your home, car, or portable CD player.

Insert a blank CD-R disc into your computer's CD-R/RW drive.

From within WMP, select the Burn tab.

Pull down the Items to Burn list (on the left) and select All Music.

Check those songs you want to burn to CD.

Select your CD-R/RW drive from the Device list (on the right), then select Audio CD.

Click the Start Burn button.

TIP

Use CD-R Discs

To play your new CD in a regular (non-PC) CD player, record in the CD-R format and use a blank CD-R disc specifically labeled for audio use. (CD-RW discs will not play in most home CD players.)

TIP

Burn a Playlist

A quicker way to select songs is to create a playlist first and then select that single playlist on the Burn tab.
