How can you burn your CD to your computer?

Answer 1

You first need to have a CD burner in the computer. Then, you need to start whatever CD burning software came with the burner. Roxio EZ CD Creator and Ahead Nero are the two most common programs to use, and both of these in their newest versions are super simple to use. They will usually pop up a window asking what type of disc you want to burn - a data disc for use in a computer, or an audio disc for use in a CD player. Follow the instructions to add your files, then choose the Burn option from the program.

Windows XP has it's own CD creator - What you can also do is take the files and drag (or copy and paste) them onto your cd-w or dvd-w drive and burn them through that without Nero.

More input:

• Requirement 1: You need a CD writer drive in your computer. Requirement 2: You need to have a CD burning software(usually supplied with the drive)(Nero Burning Rom is the best!) Requirement 3: You need to have writable or blank CD-R or CD-RW. Remaining is very easy just run your CD writing software and follow the instructions.

• Is it legal? Yes, it is perfectly legal to burn a CD. Provided you legally own the music, or software you are burning, if you don't legally own it, then of course burning it or not, your possession of it it illegal. If in doubt, though read over the EULA (End-user license agreement). Mostly all software comes with one, and some have a section of how you are permitted to copy it. For the most part, if you are making a copy for backup purposes only, and you are not going to give it to anyone else, than it should be legal.

You can tell that you have a CD recorder if three speeds are specified on the box. Next, you need software that communicates with the CD recorder.

Then you must buy CD-R's or CD-RW's. CD-R's work in more computers, but you only get one chance with writing data on them. CD-RW's are better for beginners, because you can write on them many times. Their drawbacks are slower speed, and some CD-ROM drives might not be able to read them.

Before you begin, you should reboot your PC and do nothing but burn your CD if you don't want 59 cent mirrored coasters. (Surfing the Net while burning a CD can cause a buffer underrun, which means that your system memory and CD burner's memory has been exhausted from other processes.

For Windows, to burn a data CD, assuming you have Windows XP or above, you can burn a data CD right in Windows Explorer. For a music CD, it's obvious that you use Media Player. You can do both with Roxio or other utilities.

In Linux, make sure you have a CD burning app. A Roxio clone is K3B. There's also Brasero and the audio-only Serpentine.

Answer 3

One way is to go to Windows Media, click burn and put on the songs you want. Another way is to use specialized software such as Nero or even an open source solution. You just need to have a CD/DVD burner installed in your computer, blank CDs, your music/files, and the software to create CDs.

Answer 4

Well if you have a CD burner and a CD reader, you can do something that is called "copying on the fly" (all this means is that the CD reader reads the information and at the exact same time that the CD writer is writing it)

To do this, you need to buy a program called CloneCD, made by slysoft.

go to www.slysoft.com and click on CloneCD and then click buy now.

After installing the program, open it and click on the Image that says Copy CD (it might be different now because I have an old version)

THen select your CD reader and your CD writer (choose to write at 1x for best quality.)

The other way to do it (but is more time consuming and may not work if the CD is really big)

is to import the CD into a music player such as Windows Media Player (for windows) or iTunes (for windows or mac)

Insert the Cd and the media player should jump to a "playlist" with all the CD tracks in it. Make a new playlist to save these tracks to (which makes it a lot easier if using Itunes)

After selecting all the tracks and putting them into the newly-created playlist, click burn disk.

NOTE: For Windows Media Player 11, select the burn tab at the top and drag the files you want into the box on the right.

well you need software to burn CD-ROM to a disk. You buy that software any software that burns CD-ROM to a disk or you download one. Downloading one is going take ages to find a free one so i think you should one from a computer store.

Answer 6

Depending on what type of music player you have, most come with a feature called "Ripping a CD". Once you follow directions on how to rip a Cd to your computer it will create the audio files off you CD into MP3's and place them in the folder of your choice. If you have never used this feature before then you can go to the HELP function of your program and type in "Rip CD".
