2 Select the playlist or songs you want to record.
3 Insert a blank CD or DVD (SuperDrive only) disc.

you will not be able to use the CD disc again. To prevent this, always use your power
adapter when burning a CD.
If you have a SuperDrive, you can record your own digital movies on a blank recordable
DVD disc. You can also record other kinds of digital data. For example, you can back up
files to recordable DVD discs. With applications like iDVD, you can create your own
customized digital media project, burn it on a blank recordable DVD disc, and play it
on most standard DVD players.
