WindowsXP Digital Music For Dummies
Burning CDs with Windows Media Player
Adapted From: WindowsXP Digital Music For Dummies

Storing your music on the computer is great, but it can be a hassle if you're not around your computer. If you're going for a drive and want something for your car's CD player, you can use Windows Media Player to burn songs to a CD that's playable in standard CD players. The process is quite simple, and it's built around the playlists you've already created in Windows Media Player.

Follow these steps to burn a CD:

  1. Insert a blank CD into the CD burning device.

  2. Select Copy to CD or Device on the left side of your Windows Media Player.

  3. Use the left drop-down menu to select the playlist to burn.

  4. Select the device to be used for burning from the right drop-down menu.

  5. Click the Copy button.

This activates the Roxio burning applet screen and creates the CD. When the burning is done, you have a CD that's ready to play in any CD player.
