How Do You Burn A Music CD (lol!)
October 31st, 2013
Problem is when she put the CD in her player on the way to work, the CD player just displayed a file error message, yet when I put the CD in my CD-Rom drive I was able to play the CD.
Personally I am no fan of music so making audio CD’s are not one of my strong points
I am a whiz at making a host of other DVD/CD’s but music holds no interest yet I have tons of music files in drive storage with the hopes of one day putting them onto a ipod.
I just need some basics please be ez on this audio noob
I know I could have looked else where for help, but I figured I keep the helpdesk support team here on their toes this this basic thread
Download something like roxio/nero and they have a Audio CD option. From there its just dragging and dropping or clicking the add button.
burn the Cd as an audio not data
Old skool style.
Use windows media player
.mp4? You’re doing it wrong…you need .mp3.
Put a blank CD in your computer and Windows will prompt you to burn an audio CD via Windows Media Player. Just drag and drop the .mp3 files and click burn.

Thanx fella’s, I knew I converted to a improper format
I actually have a ripped version of Nero installed with the audio feature included, but will give Windows Media Player a rub at it

My sister wanted a assortment of Spanish songs from various different artists, it was a lot freaking easier downloading all the songs from You Tube than doing a warez search for all those artists she wanted.
An you just have to look for the highest quality You Tube song available that’s worth ripping an burning.

I never was a big fan of itunes, I had it installed maybe a couple of times an uninstalled it soon after.
Thanx thou.

I tried that VSO Copy TO DVD program an I seemed to be having a problem with the burn to CD task after I have gotten all the songs organized to burn to disc, for some reason when I initialized the burn process it just hung.
I cracked the program properly but it still was not working out
I went with Windows Media Player instead, only problem I was having with that program was I had 56 of her songs in mp4 audio format, totaling 206 MB which I wanted to burn all of them to a 700 MB CD-WR disc an Windows Media Player only allowed me to burn 20 songs too disc?
I really wanted to put all 56 songs on one disc, is that even possible, an am I burning the files in the right format?
I mean…… I burnt the converted mp4 files to a CD for her, audio is great an it is playable in her CD player, but would mp3 files be the best option to burn?
I was thinking of erasing the CD an re-writing it an seeing if I could get more songs on one 700MB disc, if that’s possible?
Use iTunes or windows media player. If you use Windows media player you have to make sure it is a music cd i think

You have to learn what Audio CD is. It’s limited to minutes, not amout of data. a 700mb CD can hold 80 minutes of audio on it. There is no way to put more than that on an Audio CD. If you convert the MP3 / MP4 files to WAV, you will see how much space they really take up as Audio CD files, because they are basically burned as WAV.
Squirrelman replied: Squirrelman is right, it’s run on minutes. and if I was you, I would be using IMGBurn still, it has an audio CD option, its open source and it’s alot better in all areas than Nero, as far as I’m concerned.SABERWOLF replied:

When I built client’s computers, I always ask them if price is an issue and functionality is paramount. So unless they are loaded and don’t care and just like the name/brand, I’ll sell them Nero, otherwise, their computers always come with IMGBurn
