 Burning
a Music CD
You can use Microsoft Windows Media Player 10 to burn any mix of songs you want
from your library to an audio CD. Once you've burned a CD, you can play it in
any standard CD player. Burning mix CDs makes it easy to listen to only the
songs you want. Before you begin, you need the following:
-
A Microsoft Windows XP–compatible CD recorder. This can also be called a CD
burner, compact disc-recordable (CD-R) drive, or compact disc-rewriteable
(CD-RW) drive.
-
A blank CD-R or CD-RW disc. For maximum compatibility with home, car, and
portable CD players, a CD-R disc is recommended.
-
Songs in your library, typically stored in the My Music folder
in My Documents.
To burn an audio CD
-
 In
Windows Media Player, click Library and then, in the List pane, click
<List Name> List, and then click Burn List. If
you need to clear the list before beginning, click Burn List, and
then click Clear List.
-
Drag a folder from the Contents pane or
songs from the Details pane to the List pane to create a list of songs to
burn.
-
In the burn list, drag songs up or down to
arrange them in the order you want them to appear on the CD.
-
Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc in the CD
drive.
-
In the List pane, verify that the songs you
have selected to burn will all fit on the disc. If necessary, remove songs
from the list by right-clicking a song and then clicking Remove from List.
The burn list shows the songs that have been selected.
It is possible that a song will not fit even
if the total time exactly matches the CD length, because the Player inserts
two seconds between songs when burning.
-
Click the Start Burn arrow and verify
that Audio CD is selected.
-
Click Start Burn.
 As
the CD is burned, you can check its progress in the burn list. Burning a CD will
take some time.
Notes
-
It is recommended that you do not try to
perform any other actions while burning a CD. For example, playback may be
affected if you try to play a music CD while burning a CD.
-
You cannot burn additional files to a CD
after burning is completed. If you are using a CD-RW, you can erase the
entire CD before using the Player to burn files to the CD again.
