My personal favorite burning software is Nero. It has got many advance features which are very useful like, for example, it’ll let you know beforehand if the number of files you want to burn has exceeded the capacity of your blank CD/DVD or not. However, strictly speaking, you do not need Nero really. You can also burn CD or DVD using Windows Media Player (which comes together with your Windows XP operating system).

This is how:

1. Insert a blank recordable CD into your computer’s CD burner

2. Go to My Music (or where you’ve stored your songs)

3.  Highlight the songs/files which you want to burn, and from the task list on the left, select “Copy to audio CD” (Note: If it’s not there it means your computer does not have a burner and therefore you won’t be able to burn).

4. Windows Media Player will now open, with the selected files already listed in the Burn List to the right. Simply click Start Burn at the bottom of the Burn List and your audio files will be written onto your CD.
