Burning a CD from MP3 and CD sources

Once I have the music I want on my CD saved in my music library on the computer I set up a folder and drop in the songs I want to burn. I organize and label them.

Once the folder is ready, look at the top of the folder. You should see a burn option. Once you select it, the computer takes care of the rest.

You asked this same question and you indicated that you were answered here. What's up with that?

1)

Woollcott wants to know if it's possible to mix CD/MP3 sources to create a CD




2) Woollcott was unsuccessful in attempting to create a mixed MP3/CD sourced CD

step by step directions are requested






(when I look at my response, I suspect I may not have broken it down far enough)

But in order to provide such a procedure wouldn't that require having the same software (such as Roxio)?

I have no special software in my computer to do that - I use only what is provided in Windows.

You're quite correct ehBeth. As long as the original CD doesn't have a DRM implanted on the discs to protect the songs from being uploaded onto the hard drive, one can burn MP3 onto CDs using iTunes, Microsoft Media Player, Real Player (if anyone actually still uses Real Player), Roxio, etc....

I'm not really sure where the difficulty lies. All of these programs walk the user through some pretty easy steps. Then again one needs to use the proper blank CDs (writable which can only be used once; rewritable; etc...). You can't just put in any old CD and expect to burn a file onto it. It has to be properly formatted.

My thought was that fun/practical organizing matters like labeling and prettying up (you know...making playlist with artist names/notes ..printable labels...customizing) stuff sometimes needs a program beyond what exists in Win7 or Win8.
Some programs take the nightmare and complication out of it.

I do it all within Windows (not that I've bothered printing labels after figuring out I could).

Cool. FWIW, my CD burner came with a free disk with some proggie that I like far better than Win7 built-in one.
