How to Burn a MP3 Song Onto a CD
When you download MP3 music files to your computer, you can listen to your favorite artists and genres on your machine. If your computer is equipped with a CD burner, you can also take those songs with you by copying them onto a CD. You can use Windows Media Player, which is included with most versions of the Windows operating system, to burn MP3 songs onto a blank CD. If you do not have the software, you can download it for free from Microsoft (see Resources).
