Hi Paul,

Wmp step 4 Burning a cd on windows media player
So you have stored about 50 cds on your computer and now you want to burn a cd
Lets say for example you want to make a cd of your favourite songs to listen
to on a long journey
Well we know that all the albums that we have stored so far are in the my
music folder
Do we know how to get to this?
1 insert a blank cd wait a few seconds til the drive calms down doing a
whirring thing
2 close the dialogue box that comes up.
There are other ways of doing this step but I have found this the quickest
simplest route and lets face it folks we don't want anymore stress from 21st
century gadgetry than we already have.
2 minimise to your desktop view , windows key and m
3 click on my computer and arrow til jaws says my music then press enter and
bingo your stored albums are listed
4 to burn specific tracks onto the blank cd,this is what you do
Take it nice and slow here
Right , deep breath and here we go with an example
We have a u2 album, a beatles album , a blur album and god forbid an oasis
album in the my music folder from all the cds we have been storing on the pc
We want to burn say 5 tracks from the u2 album
And 6 tracks from the beatles album
And 2 from the blur album
And just cos we feel sorry for them 1 from the oasis album
5 we open the my music folder, then the u2 album
Arrow to the track you want to burn and when it is highlighted
Go to file
arrow down to send to
then arrow across to cd drive
The pc is now copying that track over to the cd drive where it is going into
a list
This list known as a burn list is ..you got it , the tracks you are going to
be putting on the blank cd
While still in the u2 folder Repeat this step for the other tracks in the u2
album you want burned , we said we were going to do 5, well u2 are good but
they are not really that good!
Remember
With the u2 album opened
Pick the track you want
Go to file , arrow down to send to and arrow over to cd drive
Tricky huh, but you'll get the hang of it, in time you may even be known as
king of the cdr!
Anyways, in all, in everything so we don't't get lost in the next steps, when
you are finished with the u2 tracks,
CLOSE THE U2 WINDOW but keep the my music folder open
6 Now repeat step 5 for the beatles album tracks you want to go to the blank
cd
Close the beatles album window but keep the my music folder open cos blur is
next isn't it
7 repeat step 5 for the tracks you wanted off the blur album and last but not
least do the same for the oasis album, and may god forgive you.
8 have a cuppa we're nearly home
9 close all open windows and minimise to your desktop , windows key and m
10 open my computer and highlight the cd drive
Press file and arrow down til jaws says write these files to cd
You should hear the cd drive whirring around as it burns the tracks onto the
blank cd
11 a message box appears asking you to give this blank cd a name
You could type in anything , maybe various pop in this case
12 click next
13 a box appears asking do you want to burn an audio or data cd
I'll go into that at a later date for now pick audio disc and click next
14 the cd drive will start whirring and the cd will eject when it is done
15 sit back , pop the cd on your cd player but whatever you do
Don't listen to the oasis track!
Keep the faith!
