If you’re someone who still loves to burn CDs in this age of streaming and digital downloads, you’re not alone. Whether you want to share your music with friends or create a mixtape of your favorite songs, burning a CD is a great way to do it. But, if you’re not sure how to do it in 2020, we’ve got you covered.
Firstly, you’ll need a CD burner. While many laptops and desktops come with built-in CD burners, some don’t. You can purchase an external one for around $30 on Amazon. You’ll also need a CD to burn your music on to. We recommend using Verbatim discs as they are reliable and have a good track record.
Once you have the CD burner and CD, insert the CD into your computer and open the folder containing the songs you want to burn. We recommend using Windows Media Player to burn your CD. Open the program and click on the “burn” tab. Then, open the songs folder and drag and drop the songs you want to burn into the burn list.
Before burning the CD, make sure to check that you are burning it as an audio CD instead of a data CD or DVD. Burning it as a data CD or DVD may cause problems with your car system, as not all CD players can read data discs. Once you’ve confirmed that it’s an audio CD, you can click “start burn” and wait for the process to complete.
Once the songs have been successfully burned to the disk, eject the CD and use it wherever you want. With this step-by-step guide, you can easily burn CDs in 2020 and enjoy your music offline.
