Hi
I have downloaded alot of songs from blubster and wanted to put sone of them onto a CD, do i need to download a programme to do this?

jinkssick

nope. a good software like VSO COPY TO DVD or Nero will allow you to put around 19 tracks on a single cd-r. all depending on track lenghts which I think the limit is 74mins

I thought songs downloaded from blubster were illegal anyway.

In order to play any songs on an audio CD, you first need to ensure they are converted to Wav. unless it has MP3 or WMa format, (in wich case you need to convert it to those).

In NERO you can select the option to burn AUDIO disk, this will convert the files to audio, and burn it for you.

In effect you first need to check the songs file format "Beatles-Nowhere man.mp3" would be in mp3, and so on.

THere is software out there free to d/l if you dont have NERO, which would convert your format to Wav. simply doing a Google for "convert audio file" would find endless.

Don't appreciate being accused of lying. The reason p2p and filesharing programs are prohibited from being discussed is that most of them offer copyrighted material illegally as well as being subject to security issues with malware and viruses. If they're offering music for free (unless they're bands you've never heard of who've given permission) then common sense says it's not kosha.

Lets give the OP the benefit of the doubt, for agruments sake I am assuming he/she has paid to download some songs, or has been given permission from some band. The question here is not "Have illegally downloaded a song and want to copy it". Its "How do I put my downloaded songs onto an audio disk".

Common sense tells me not to judge a book by its cover. In reference to the OPs question, wether he/she downloads it legally or not, is not what he/she is asking. Hence is not in his discussion, what and how he/she downloads his/her files, is none of our business.

If they're legal then at least we can find out what drm restrictions/file formats are on it to enable to burn them to cd if it's possible at all. If they're not then they're probably mp3 and you can just drag n' drop the files onto cd folder.

While itunes is not the best program, it is one of the easiest to use plus its free.

Although if they're paid for .wma music files then they will likely be protected so itunes won't work at all with them so probably best in that case to use windows media player. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b446ae53-3759-40cf-80d5-cde4bbe07999&DisplayLang=en
