Your PC has recording software called Windows Media Player. You copy or
download music to the Windows Media Player Media Library and can then
organise or copy the music files. You can copy Window Media files that have a
.wma extension, .mp3 files, or .wav files to a CD by using a CD-RW drive or a
DVD Writer drive. You can also use Windows Media Player to copy music files
to a portable device or memory card.
Use a CD-R disc if you are going to play the disc in a CD player, CD-ROM,
CD-RW, DVD-ROM, or DVD+RW/+R drive. CD-R discs are compatible with
more players than CD-RW discs are.
