You have everything required to burn audio CDs. I suggest you read the manual for Nero as it conains more information about recording to CD than I can explain here.

You do have a CD Burner as well, don't you? Just checking ! Do read the manual, I second that. The most important tip I can give you is to make sure you check the 'Disk at Once' box in the Options on Nero. This makes sure the disk is properly closed. Otherwise you'll get a disk that will only work on a computer.

I would also check the CD player that you want to play these CD's on as not all CD players play CD-R disks! (just like my �400 NAD DVD player, but i'm not bitter 'bout it) q:-)

Thanks all. I dont have the manual -Nero was downloaded from Kazaa.I wasnt aware of the 'disc at once ' element.I wanted to experiment with making my own CDs - not vanity I assure you -more for using in school but not had much luck previously.

Can I offer a little bit of advice as well? If you're copying from one CD to another, don't use "on the fly"; always create an image on the harddrive first. On completion you'll be asked if you want to keep this image. In short, don't tick the "on the fly" option.
