Burning a CD has never been easier. There are many different programs that you can use to burn CDs but Windows Media Player is one of the easiest. Here are some tips on how to burn a CD using Windows Media Player.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Start out by making sure that you have all of the songs that you would like on your CD downloaded to your computer. You can download MP3 songs from itunes or any other music program that you have downloaded on your computer. You can also take music from CDs that you already have and download them to your computer.

  2. Step 2

    Insert a blank CD into your computer. Open up windows media player and click the tab at the top of the screen that says Burn. You will now be able to choose which songs you would like to be on your CD. Open up the folder on your computer with your music in it.

  3. Step 3

    Click and drag each song that you would like on your CD into the Left column on Windows Media Player labeled Burn List. As you add songs to this list, you will see a number at the bottom of the right column that shows how much time is left on the CD. Do not exceed this number or you will not be able to burn your CD.

  4. Step 4

    Once you have added all of the songs that you would like to burn to your CD, Click the button that says Start Burn. Windows Media Player will burn all of the songs to your CD. Once your CD is complete, check to make sure that all of the songs are on the CD and that it works correctly. Once you have burned a CD, the disk will be closed so you will not be able to go back and edit the songs on that CD. If you make a mistake while burning a CD, start over with a new blank CD.
