Download music then burn a c.d.

Hi guys,
I'm sure this is second nature to most of you, but I've never done it before!! I don't have an MP3 player, but i would like to download a couple of albums that are current in the charts, then burn them on to c.d.'s . I've looked at the Tesco site, but can only see where to download for MP3 players, or where to buy the proper c.d.'s....is there any hope for a 'numbskull' like me. :question:
Thanks a million,
Jackie

    What burning software do you have and what operating system are you on ?

    Oh and mp3's are mp3's whether they are for an mp3 player or a cd that is all you will need !

    cdburnerxp
    windows (rubbish) inbuilt cd burning stuff etc

    they are a few of the most common ones around. you should have at least one of them on your system (no prizes for guessing which one though)

    You can download the MP3 files to your pc. Make sure you know where they are stored on your pc. You can then use Windows Media Player to locate the files and burn them to an audio cd (Choose this option if you want the cds to play on a regular cd player). I use Roxio but they basically do the same thing.

    For me personally windows media player is simple enough (and free) to use and never had a problem using it.

    Hi again guys,
    I've been away checking my laptop to see what I've got that might resemble anything to do with music. I have got 'windows media player', I've also got iTunes and Quick time player. (its just take half an hour to download updates for the latter)..O.K., now I know what I've got..what do I do with em???
