.jpg "Audio Recording") Downloading music to a CD for use in a car or personal CD player
requires only a few easy steps and is well within the abilities of
almost any computer user. Most users already own the components
necessary to burn a CD with music downloaded from any number of
Internet web sites, and even if the user does not have the software
already installed a great variety of free programs exist to allow
anyone to burn a CD in just seconds.
What Equipment Is Needed To Download Music To A CD?
The basic computer components needed to burn a music CD consist of a CD
burner or DVD/CD burner combo drive, an Internet connection, and a CD
burning program. Most computers purchased within the last five years
will have all of these already included with the system be it Windows
XP, Vista, Macintosh, or even Linux. The only piece of the puzzle that
is not often included are the blank CD's themselves. Most users can
get by with almost any type of burnable CD , however some older CD
players will have difficulty playing certain types of discs.
What Software Should Be Used To Burn The CD?
Windows XP, Vista, Macintosh, and Linux computers all come with the
built in ability to create a CD from downloaded music files . Chances are good that most users will
use either iTunes or Windows Media Player as their music playing
application. Each of these products has the built in capability to
burn downloaded music to CD. Simply create a playlist of the songs
desired and click on the Burn To Disc button.
For users that are not comfortable with these programs or who want a
bit more control over what and how CD's are burned software such as
Nero and Roxio CD Creator are excellent commercial choices. Each of
these products can be downloaded and installed via the Internet.
Depending on what service is used to purchase and download music from
the Internet, additional options may be available. Various music
players from companies such as Rhapsody and Napster provide the ability
to burn CD's as well.
People that want to download music to a CD rather than to their
computer have many options with which to do so. The convenient fact
that most of these options are already provided free of charge is icing
on the cake.
