[gui-talk] CD burning question

[Wayne Merritt]

If all you want to do is burn music and you have Windows Media Player
on your system, then you're in business. You would copy and paste the
songs into the D drive, or whatever lettered drive your CD/DVD drive
is, and then go into the File menu and choose the item that says
write/burn these files to CD. That will bring up a wizard that will
walk you through the process of burning the songs to CD. I know for
sure that this works in XP since I've taught students how to do it and
done it with them. Not sure about Vista but I assume that all steps
are the same. Note that until you choose the write/burn these files to
CD, the files won't actually be on the CD. The reason I say write/burn
is because I've seen it written both ways but it does the same thing.
When done,the drive should open and the CD will slide out. To make
sure all works as it should, you can put the CD back in the computer
and wait for it to play. The computer should auto detect that you want
to burn music, and present you with 2 radio buttons to choose between,
either audio CD or MP3 CD. Audio CD can be played in any CD player, on
a computer or not, and MP3 can only be played on a computer or a CD
player that can play MP3 discs. Though the MP3 CD can hold many more
songs, depending on factors between 75 and 150, or more, than the
audio CD which only holds around 20.

Good luck,
Wayne
