Hi
im trying to burn some audio from youtube. normally i would download via real player and burn via real player but since my cd player/writer has stopped working on my laptop ive bought an external one which arrived today...i can play cds/dvds so it works fine but when it comes to recording/burning, how do i get real player to recognise the new drive :G? real player keeps trying to use the built in player/drive on the laptop. ive tried looking every where but cant see how to change it so it burns on the new external recorder.
i have windows 7, is there any other easy way to do this? if i click on the G drive it says drag files here to add to cd but i cant copy or drag files from real player to the G drive either.
whats the best way forward?
Thanks

I use Freestar Youtube MP3 Converter.Easy to use and it works for me.Transfers file to your choice of directory then you can burn it.0
