Creating (Burning) CDs
If your PC has a CD-RW or DVD Writer (select
models only), your PC has recording software and
you can make your own music or data CDs.
Your PC has four recording software programs,
iTunes, Windows Media Player, RecordNow!, and
Windows XP. You copy or download music to their
library and can then organize or copy the music
files. You can copy Windows Media files that have
a .wma extension, .mp3 files, or .wav files to a CD
by using a CD-RW drive or a DVD Writer drive.
You can also use iTunes or Windows Media
Player to copy music files to a portable device or
memory card.
Use a CD-R disc if you are going to play the disc in
a CD player, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, or
DVD+RW/+R, or double-layer DVD+R drive. CD-R
discs are compatible with more players than CD-RW
discs.

Burn is an industry
term used to describe
the recording of
information onto a
DVD or CD. Optical
recording uses a
laser beam to place
information onto the
disc, thus the term
burning.
If your recording
fails, manually select
a slower recording
speed, if available,
each time you make
a recording. Refer
to the Help menu
in your selected
software program
for more information
about selecting a
slower recording
speed.
