How to Make an MP3 Music CD

A standard audio CD can hold around 80 minutes of audio, but MP3 music CDs can fit more songs on the disc by storing them in a compressed format. Using the Windows Media Center software built into Windows, you can arrange a list of MP3 files and burn those files to a disc. You will be able to play your music in any CD player that features MP3 CD compatibility.
