| Summary: There are many reasons you may want to take bunch of MP3 files and burn them to regular audio CD’s. You may have purchased MP3’s and downloaded them but want to play them on a portable CD player. Or, you may want to play them in your car which has only a regular (non-mp3) CD player. You may want to select some MP3 files from your collection to make a sampler CD for a friend.
Windows Media Player version 7 or above allows you to drag and drop either individual MP3 files or groups of MP3 audio files to a “burn list.” Once selected, you can organize the order in which the tracks are played Note: Some older players can’t play burned discs just because the media is a little bit different than mass-manufactured discs. Homemade discs are “burned” with a laser, but mass produced discs are stamped. No real restrictions, but some burner programs allow you to burn either “data” discs or “audio” discs, and if you choose “data” they won’t play. |
