Be Careful
-
Remember that files on the networks Shareaza deals with can be malicious. Not all is necessarily what it seems to be. Further, having access to large amounts of music does not make you immune to copyright laws. Before you download files, make sure that you are not breaking any laws, and always scan files with virus protection before opening them.
Load Music
-
Shareaza will not burn music files for you. To do this, you must load them into the digital music program (such as iTunes or Windows Media Player) that you use to listen to and burn music. Locate the downloaded files on your hard drive. Select the ones that you wish to open. Then right-click and "Open With" the relevant media player. Wait for the music to load into your digital music player.
Burn to Disc
-
You are now ready to burn your new music files to disc using your favorite digital music management program. Insert a blank or rewritable disc into your computer. Select the files that you wish to burn to disc and create a special playlist for them. Then select the option to burn your tracks to disc. You now have a disc full of music from Shareaza.
