Tips & Warnings

• You must have a CD-R drive to burn. CD-R Means CD recording. A CD-RW means it's rewritable. You can rewrite the disk with this but you have to clear the whole disk and the rewritable ones don't play good at all. Don't use rewritable disk. They are not that good.
• There is a (number)X on the disk. That is the speed. The higher it is. The better it plays. If it's not high enough than it won't play in some audio devices like car CD player.
• If you plan on doing allot of burning don't buy 5 CD's at a time buy the big packs and you save allot more money. As far as which ones to choose.
• I recommend getting the 80 min. 52X CD-R makes sure it's CD-R type and not DVD-R or CD-RW disk.
• Also before you start ripping check the music library to check if the song are already ripped onto the computer and if you rip off a bought album it should have all the info ripped with it such as song name, artist etc.
• Make sure your computer has enough space to store the songs. If you have thousands of songs it could slow your computer down.
