    I use IMGBURN. Free and very good. You'd have to burn it as an audio disc, not data. Also Windpws has it's own burning softare but I've had IMGBURN for such a long time I tend to stick with it.

    Have you tried this?

    Reliable, easy to use and free. Be sure to uncheck any toolbars, homepages etc on install.

    I'll secons Ashampoo, linked above - A good straightforward CD/DVD burner with none of the techy issues of the grander packages and it will pack data on a disc more efficently than the W7 burner.

    rip the audio files out with windows media player and then burn with the same programme, no need to download anything

    Yes it does...right click on any file and send it to the burner...and windows will burn it...whether dataor video or music.


    why do people insist on downloading crappy freeware when windows will do most things better....???
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right
