A Picasa 'Gift CD' does NOT have music on it! That is one desirable function, but is totally missing. If you are technically adept, it is said to be possible to copy the CD back to the hard drive, add a music file, add a call to the "autorun.inf" file and copy the lot onto a new CD. But it's probably better to put the radio on while watching the 'Gift CD'. -
