CD burning software allows users to create audio CDs, using an optical drive, through a process known as burning. Some software allows the user to drag and drop the audio files into the CD while others have users select the audio files manually.
Benefits
-
Software that allows computer users to create audio CDs can be beneficial. For example, an up-and-coming band can create and distribute homemade CDs to spread the word about their music. Some computer users may use this software to burn downloaded music to a CD.

Commercial Software
-
Users can purchase commercial software to burn music CDs from electronics stores or online retailers. Users may not have to purchase commercial software if their computer came equipped with CD burning software.
Native Software
-
Windows users have been able to use built-in CD burning technology since Windows XP. Users can insert a CD-R or CD-RW into their CD-ROM and open the drive as a folder on their computer. The user can then click and drag files from their current location into the drive folder to copy them to the disc.
Considerations
-
CD burning software also allows computer users to add non-audio data and files to a CD. Users can use CDs to store and transfer work or school related documents, such as papers or presentations. Users can also use CDs as a back-up storage method for sensitive documents or photographs.
