How to Make a MP3 CD With Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player gives users the ability to burn, or copy, audio files onto blank CDs. You can then listen to these CDs using a standard CD player. You may own a portable, home or car MP3 CD player that gives you the ability to listen to hundreds of songs on one CD. By creating a data CD using Windows Media Player, your CD player will be able to read the CD as an MP3 CD and thus play the files that are saved on that CD.
