    Could someone please step me through the process to copying music from my computer to a CD. I am finding it difficult but I am sure there is a very easy sequence. Also once you have burnt onto a CD-R does that mean that you can no longer put anymore music onto that CD. Am I better off using re-writables. How many songs approx. does a CD hold. Any help would be appreciated as I am new to this. Just for your info I Windows Media Player, I-River Software and my daughter uses I-Tunes. Thanks heaps.

    Thanks I will try Nero and let you know how I go. My daughter uses I-Tunes for her I-Pod and wants to know if you can also burn with I-Tunes. Also, just say I only put 5 songs on a disk, can I go back later and add more and keep adding until its full.

    What about adding more songs later. Can I do that or do I have to fill the disk up all at once.

    if you get a rewritable cd(cd-rw)then you can delete the files on the cd using nero and then put new ones in but regular cd-r wont do it

    I'm having the same questions as lauzzie as am in the process of learning to burn a mp3 cd. Is the quality of a R better than a RW?
    I'm using I-Tunes and wonder if I will be given the option of "finalizing?"
