Converting MP3 to CD

Ebe_Scrooge

Sorry for what is probably a really numpty question. I've got some MP3 files that a friend gave to me ( children's nursery rhymes and songs ), and want to put them on a CD so that little-un can listen to them at bedtime. We've just got an ordinary CD player that won't recognise MP3 files. Is there an easy way to copy the MP3s on to the CD in a playable format ?

If you have windows media player you can rip them from there and then burn onto another cd

Thanks - I thought there had to be a simple solution :-)

Let us know how you get on - should be straightforward

Erm...not quite. MP3 files have already been 'ripped. So all you need to do is to use WMP to burn those files to 'Audio CD', not 'Data CD'.

This is for WMP 10. WMP 11 should be similar.

To create a Audio CD in Windows Media Player 10
1.
Click Burn.

2.
In the Items to Burn pane (the left side of Burn), select the playlist or category of tracks that you want to burn from Library.

3.
To add digital media files from other playlists or categories in your library to the playlist of items to burn, or to remove items from the playlist, click the Edit Playlist button.

The number of selected items and total time is displayed at the bottom of the Items to Burn pane.

4.
If necessary, clear any check boxes for items that you don't want to burn.

5.
Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW in your CD drive.

6.
If you are using a CD-RW disc, if necessary, click the Erase disc button to erase the CD.


7.
In the Items on Device pane (the right side of Burn), click the drop-down list at the top of the pane, and then click Audio CD.

8.
Click the Start Burn button.
