Burning A Cd

[Connemmara]

Some years ago I was able to burn CDs galore but have lost the gift.

There is a gentleman who is with me in the music class and he has never heard of Any Dream will Do so therefore finds it difficult to pick up the rhythm - he has trying to play for 3 years. I don't think he can afford to buy the CD when he only wants one song.

I would like to burn one for him - anybody tell me from the start again. Thanks

"Ashampoo" is pretty good hassle free software. That's what I use.

Is it a Windows PC?

If so, put cd in, open Windows Media Player, click on Any Dream Will Do and click 'burn'.

Once you've installed it, you can open it and pick from a list of options. One of them is "Burn or rip music" then "Create an audio CD" - that's what you need. The folder then opens and all you need to do is click and drag the music in and follow the prompts making sure there is a blank recordable CD in your drive.

You don't need to download software for such a simple task.
Windows Media Player does the job efficiently and simply and is already there

You are not going to believe it - don't really know what you are talking about - I need to know from scratch. I did from Limewire I think and it went off the air.

[MadMen]

Ahhh! The good old days of Limewire.

Loved that site.

Anyway am very tired now - so will try tomorrow morning. thanks everybody

Sorry to go a bit off topic here.....I've heard a song on YouTube and it's lovely. I've looked into buying a CD with it on, but there are many other tracks that I don't want.

Is it possible to put it directly from YouTube onto a CD, or is this infringing some copyright law?

[MadMen]

You're pretty much asking the same as the op, mrs.chappie.

Yes, it is.

[mrs.chappie]

Tbh, I wouldn't mind buying it on a CD if it were available as a single. Trouble is, there are several songs on the only CD I can find, and at £12.99, tis a bit much.

It's even more than that on some sites.

[MadMen]

You could download the track from itunes.

[hc4361]

I thought you already had the music on your pc, Conne.

You can download it from here for 69p

What track do you want, Mrs C?

[mrs.chappie]

I could download the track from itunes and burn it onto a CD? I like that idea...will see if I can sort that out.

Are you able to buy a "one-off" single?

[MadMen]

As above, what track is it you want?

I miss the days of being able to buy a single.

[mrs.chappie]

It is called Sand and Water, by John Wright.

Mrs. chappie - do a search for 'youtube downloader' (you can get it from download.com). A very easy way to grab audio from YouTube; automatically loads the URL and allows you to then convert to MP3.
As for Win Media Player, I sometimes have problems with it. Tried to burn songs I'd written and recorded and it wouldn't let me - said they were copyright protected! I find that Magix MP3 Maker does the trick, but not sure if you can still get this free of charge? Maybe someone else here knows?

[mrs.chappie]

Thanks very much Ana. I did wonder if it made any difference that I'd found it on YouTube.

Is what you've suggested legal? Please excuse my ignorance over this sort of thing...I know very little about computers and downloading.
